Terremoto de Colombia: un sismo "complejo" que comparte "contexto tectónico" con Venezuela

Americas 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 7m ago

On Monday, August 10, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia. The seismic event occurred at a depth of 100 kilometers, a factor that experts suggest mitigated the potential for catastrophic destruction. According to Daniel Ruiz, a professor of engineering at the Universidad Javeriana, the consequences could have been apocalyptic had the epicenter been located at a shallower depth.

Geologists have characterized the event as a complex subduction earthquake that warrants further scientific study. The tremor shares a common tectonic context with seismic activity observed in neighboring Venezuela, highlighting regional geological interconnections.
