11 Dec Aftershocks Detected In The Wake Of North Korea’s Most Recent Nuclear Test ‘Moved The Earth’s Crust’

North Korea is escalating its development of nuclear weapons at an alarming rate. Recent activities and missile tests have already represented a huge threat to other countries, but now it seems there may be a threat to the Earth itself.

Why? North Korea’s most recent nuclear test was so powerful that it “moved” the Earth’s crust.

The nuclear test in question occurred back in September. North Korea confirmed it tested an H-bomb under a mountain at Punggye-ri in the fall. This bomb would be ten times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima during World War Two.

“When you have a large nuclear test, it moves the Earth’s crust around the area, and it takes a while for it to fully subside. We’ve had a few of them since the sixth nuclear test,” an American geological survey official said.

In fact, two minor tremors were detected just this past weekend from the mountainous North Korean test site. They registered a magnitude of 2.9 and 2.4 and were probably still aftereffects caused by the sixth nuclear test back in September.

There is some concern that this test could have damaged the underground mountain site. There were also rumors that up to 100 workers had been trapped at the location, despite there being evidence that two new test tunnels may have recently been created in the area.
