The 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Kamchatka is linked to volcanic activity. This situation draws attention as the region's volcanoes are on alert.

BBC climate and science editor Esme Stallard noted that the movement of the Pacific plate could have caused this earthquake. The loss and rebound of plates can trigger significant earthquakes.
