- 'Earthquake time bomb': Why back-to-back quakes in Venezuela aren't uncommon
Back-to-back earthquakes struck Venezuela, killing over 150 people and damaging buildings in Caracas. Dr. Ellen Prager explained the region's seismic risk due to its tectonic setting, citing a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in 1812. The quakes, near the coast, did not trigger a tsunami warning due to strike-slip fault movement.
