Earthquakes up to 4.7 magnitude strike various parts of Chile on April 4

Kiswahili

Chile's National Seismological Center recorded several earthquakes on Saturday, April 4, with magnitudes from 3.0 to 4.7. The tremors struck northern and southern regions at varying depths. No damage or major alerts have been reported.

The National Seismological Center of the University of Chile reported seven earthquakes on April 4. The strongest, magnitude 4.7, struck at 12:48 local time, 76 km southwest of Ollagüe at 128 km depth. Another of 4.6 occurred at 06:22, 22 km west of Cuya, 63 km deep.

The full list: 15:19, 3.4 at 79 km southeast of Socaire (233 km depth); 13:26, 3.6 at 182 km west of Valdivia (20 km); 07:05, 3.0 at 14 km northeast of Camiña (102 km); 06:49, 3.2 at 26 km northeast of Calama (116 km); and 05:55, 3.0 at 29 km north of Calama (100 km).

Such events are typical given Chile's position at the Nazca and South American plates boundary, causing crustal vibrations. Most go unnoticed by residents.

Senapred advised staying calm, seeking shelter under sturdy objects, shutting off electricity, water, and gas, and avoiding buildings in streets. Specific guidance applies for vehicles or large events.

Tiny earthquakes reveal complex seismic zone under northern California

Scientists have used swarms of minuscule earthquakes to map a hidden and intricate tectonic structure beneath northern California. This region, at the intersection of the San Andreas fault and the Cascadia subduction zone, involves five moving pieces rather than the expected three. The findings help explain past seismic events and improve hazard predictions.
