Just 8 minutes ago, a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near San Antonio, San Antonio County, Valparaiso, Chile. The tremor was recorded late on Sunday night, April 18, 2021 at 11:18 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers below the Earth’s surface, and the event was introduced by the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismic agency. A second report was subsequently released by the European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), which classified it as an earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake was not supposed to cause any significant damage, but it was likely to feel Many people describe it as a slight vibration in the epicenter area. The weak tremors were probably felt in Los Navigantes (population 230) located 53 km from the epicenter, San Antonio (85,700) 62 km away, Cartagena (population 16,900) 65 km away, Milibela (population 63,100) 90 km away , Valparaiso (282.400) at 110 km, Viña del Mar (population area 294,600) at 115 km, and Coelboy (popup 130,300) at 118 km.

Aftershocks

More information

Depending on its size, the fissure that was active during the earthquake ruptured along roughly the surface. 20 km2 (= 8 square miles) as a first-degree estimate. The rupture zone is likely to be about 8 kilometers (5 mi) long, and aftershocks typically occur during the days and weeks following an earthquake at or near the same fault, at distances of approximately. Twice the length of the fissure area. The broad linear arrangement of aftershock centers often includes the main shock rupture zone (check the map below to verify).
