The National Seismological Center recorded several low-intensity earthquakes in various regions of Chile on this Sunday, December 7. Most of these movements were imperceptible due to the country's location at the boundary of the Nazca and South American plates. Senapred provides safety recommendations for such events.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have found that deep earthquake faults can heal themselves within hours, challenging existing models of seismic activity. This discovery, based on studies of slow slip events in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, suggests that mineral grains weld together under high pressure and heat. The findings could reshape how scientists predict major earthquakes.
