Earthquake in Venezuela TODAY, Sunday, October 25: epicenter and magnitude of the latest tremor reported by Funvisis

Earthquakes in Venezuela: latest tremors, epicenter, and magnitude 11:55 - WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A TSUNAMI? - If you receive official tsunami alerts or warnings, or if you see the sea receding, evacuate to high ground. Move to a flood-free area and head to the nearest meeting point. If you cannot reach high ground, go to an upper floor or the roof of a sturdy building. 11:52 - WHAT IS FUNVISIS? - The Venezuelan Foundation for Seismological Research (Funvisis) is the agency responsible for executing and promoting seismological research and studies, as well as the operation and maintenance of Venezuela's seismological service stations, where all seismological activity in the country is recorded and monitored. 10:02 - Why are several magnitudes reported for the same earthquake? - Because the initial information comes from nearby stations and is adjusted as more data arrives from different sensors. Science continues to calculate after the first notice. 10:02 - How do we know if an earthquake is going to happen? - Earthquakes cannot be predicted, but seismographs and accelerographs detect ground movements in real time to alert us as quickly as possible. 02:54 - WHICH TECTONIC PLATES ARE FOUND IN VENEZUELA? - The Caribbean Plate is the geological zone that covers Central America and the Caribbean Sea, while the South American Plate supports almost all of South America and part of the Atlantic ocean floor. - Both plates interact primarily in northern South America through lateral slips and subduction zones (a convergent boundary where a larger plate sinks beneath a lighter one into the Earth's mantle). 02:52 - WHAT IS A SEISMIC GAP? - A seismic gap is a prolonged period without significant seismic activity or intensity in a region, which may indicate the accumulation of tectonic stress and an increased risk of a future earthquake. 02:52 - WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A TSUNAMI? - If you receive official tsunami alerts or warnings, or if you see the sea receding, evacuate to high ground. Move to a flood-free area and head to the nearest meeting point. If you cannot reach high ground, go to an upper floor or the roof of a sturdy building. 02:51 - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MAGNITUDE AND THE INTENSITY OF AN EARTHQUAKE? - They are scales used to measure the size or the impact of a tremor. The magnitude scale is a numerical value derived from seismograph recordings and is related to the size and energy released during a tremor. The intensity scale is assigned based on the damage or effects caused to people and their structures. 02:51 - WHAT IS FUNVISIS? - The Venezuelan Foundation for Seismological Research (Funvisis) is the agency responsible for executing and promoting seismological research and studies, as well as the operation and maintenance of Venezuela's seismological service stations, where all seismological activity in the country is recorded and monitored. 02:50 In this note, you can review the latest earthquakes in Venezuela using information from the official reports of the Venezuelan Foundation for Seismological Research (Funvisis).
