Умеренное землетрясение маг. 5.0 - Departamento del Choco, 59 km к юго-западу от Chigorodo, Колумбия, Суббота, 3 дек 2022 06:41 (GMT -5) -

A magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Chigorodo, Chigorodó, Antioquia, Colombia, was reported only 21 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 39 km beneath the epicenter early morning on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022, at 6:41 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.0 as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Riosucio (pop. 7,200) located 16 km from the epicenter, Murindo (pop. 2,400) 46 km away, Chigorodo (pop. 48,400) 59 km away, Carepa (pop. 20,600) 69 km away, Apartado (pop. 86,400) 81 km away, Dabeiba (pop. 11,500) 95 km away, and Turbo (pop. 50,500) 96 km away.

Последние землетрясения 20 лучших за последние 24 часа Землетрясения: Колумбия

Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake ruptured along a surface of approx. 10 km² (=4 sqare miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).
Aftershocks typically occur during the days and weeks following the quake at or near the same fault, at distances of up to approx. two times the length of the rupture zone.
The often broadly linear arrangement of aftershock epicenters encompasses the rupture zone of the main shock (check on the map below to verify).
