NewzA magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia on Monday, causing structural damage and resulting in casualties. The seismic event originated at a depth of 90 to 120 kilometers within the Nazca plate, a factor that contributed to the tremors being felt across a broad area of the country and in neighboring territories.
Experts from the National Seismological Network have clarified that the earthquake's tectonic origin is distinct from recent seismic activity recorded in Venezuela, despite the similar magnitudes of the events. Geologists have noted that the depth of the rupture was a key characteristic in the widespread reach of the shaking.
