Following a magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Colombia on Monday, August 10, a specialist from San Marcos has highlighted the varying seismic risks associated with specific soil conditions in Peru, noting that districts such as Villa El Salvador, Ventanilla, and La Molina feature sandy soils.
The recent seismic event in Colombia, which drew renewed attention to factors that increase vulnerability during earthquakes, follows a series of recent tremors in the region.
