USGS: 7.2 quake strikes near Marianas
A 7.2-magnitude earthquake has struck south of the Mariana Islands, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The Mariana Islands - an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean - are made up of two U.S. territories, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The islands sit about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning after the quake, which struck at 7:19 a.m. Saturday (5:19 p.m. ET Friday).

Guam, an American Territory, is at the southern end of the Marianas island chain, about 100 west of the Marianas trench–the deepest spot on earth at around 7 miles. It is a subduction zone between two techtonic plates. It has a populaton of around 175, 000 people and has 5 American military bases.
The USGS website reports that this is the 3rd quake in the last 4 days greater than a 7.0 magnitude. Freaky!
