A large M7.5 earthquake has struck Peru in South America.
Global seismic unrest has been progressing across the Pacific plate, and adjacent plates spanning West from the Pacific towards as well as East towards the Americas.
After a deep M6.0 struck the West Pacific a few hours ago (Nov. 24) , now we see another deep earthquake has struck -- measuring M7.5 in size.
European agencies showing TWO events.. M7.1 + M7.0 ... the USGS is showing a single M7.5 (started out as a M6.9 then upgraded).

A large Pacific plate earthquake warning was issued yesterday in light of the multiple deep earthquakes which struck across the whole plate over a few hours time.
Here is the warning which was issued, telling people to watch out for a coming large earthquake in the next few days. Peru / Chile border region was warned a full 24 hours prior to this large earthquake striking.
