WASHINGTON, May 16 (Reuters) - A major earthquake struck under the Pacific Ocean about 1,200 km (750 miles) north of New Zealand on Tuesday, but no damage was expected, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the earthquake was not expected to trigger a major tsunami, but could result in a smaller one within 100 km of the epicenter.

The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 10:39 p.m. (1039 GMT/6:39 EDT) about 90 miles beneath the sea bed about 180 miles southwest of Raoul island, the USGS said.
