NewzA magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia this Monday, causing damages and casualties across a significant portion of the country. The seismic event originated at a depth between 90 and 120 kilometers within the Nazca plate, a factor that contributed to the tremor being felt across a wide geographic area, including neighboring territories.
Experts, including seismologist Viviana Dionisio of the National Seismological Network, have clarified that this earthquake is tectonically unrelated to recent seismic activity in Venezuela. Despite the similarity in magnitude between the two events, the distinct geological origins confirm that the tremors are independent occurrences.
