Located in the Peru Pacific Ring of Fire, Earth releases 90% of the energy it stores inside. It is important to know that the seismic activity in this part of the world is caused by the subduction of the oceanic plate and the continental plate, which causes telluric movements of different magnitudes and frequency. Peru is part of the South American Plate, which is colliding with the Nazca Plate at a rate of 6 cm/year.
Therefore, the Institute of Geophysics of Peru (IGP) Daily communicates earthquakes in the country, because according to the report of the company, about a thousand earthquakes are reported annually, and many of them are felt by the population. Strong earthquakes in the country cause serious damage, but the problem is not the natural phenomenon, but informal constructions and houses built on soils classified as high risk.
Below is the official information of the IGP updated in real time on the recent earthquakes and safety recommendations issued by the National Civil Defense Institute (INDECI) today, Thursday, June 20.
Tremors in Peru today, Thursday, June 20 live via IGP
It is important for Peruvian citizens to prevent the effects of tremors or earthquakes and to be able to know their exact timing, earthquake magnitude and details. The Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP), in collaboration with the National Seismological Center (CENSIS).. Below, I’ll tell you what the last jitter is.
According to the IGP, what does each intensity level mean in earthquakes in Peru?
- Me: This is an “unfelt” motion, which signifies “no harm”.
- II-III: This is a “weak” movement that represents “no damage”.
- IV: This is a “light” movement that represents “no damage”.
- V: This is a “moderate” action, which means “very little damage”.
- VI: This is a “strong” movement, which means “little damage”.
- VII: This is a “very strong” move that deals “moderate damage”.
- VIII: This is a “severe” action that involves “moderate or heavy damage”.
