El potente sismo magnitud 7.4 en Colombia se gener\u00f3 por el choque de tres placas tect\u00f3nicas y el Nido S\u00edsmico de Bucaramanga.<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El terremoto de magnitud 7.4 que sacudi\u00f3 Colombia<\/strong> y dej\u00f3 111 muertos este lunes 10 de agosto a las 7:34 AM, fue impulsado por el choque de tres placas tect\u00f3nicas<\/strong> a 103 kil\u00f3metros de profundidad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por qu\u00e9 fue tan fuerte el terremoto en Colombia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La alta sismicidad en el territorio colombiano responde al punto de interacci\u00f3n donde la placa de Nazca se introduce por debajo de la placa Sudamericana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A este proceso geol\u00f3gico se le conoce como subducci\u00f3n, un<\/strong> fen\u00f3meno de fricci\u00f3n que libera de manera repentina grandes cantidades de energ\u00eda <\/strong>acumulada en el subsuelo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

De acuerdo con los datos t\u00e9cnicos del Servicio Geol\u00f3gico Colombiano (SGC), la compleja estructura geol\u00f3gica del pa\u00eds involucra la convergencia de tres placas principales y un fen\u00f3meno \u00fanico<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Placa de Nazca<\/strong>: Se desplaza e introduce por debajo de la corteza continental.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Placa Sudamericana<\/strong>: Soporta la presi\u00f3n directa del choque con la placa de Nazca.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Placa Caribe<\/strong>: A\u00f1ade una segunda zona de subducci\u00f3n en el norte del pa\u00eds.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Nido S\u00edsmico de Bucaramanga<\/strong>: Ubicado bajo el municipio de Los Santos, concentra cerca del 60% de los sismos nacionales a profundidades aproximadas de 150 kil\u00f3metros.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Aunque la Red Sismol\u00f3gica Nacional registra cerca de 2,500 temblores al mes (alrededor de 80 eventos diarios), la mayor\u00eda resulta imperceptible para la poblaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No obstante, cuando el movimiento ocurre en fallas de alta fricci\u00f3n o en puntos de convergencia directa,<\/strong> el impacto en la superficie aumenta considerablemente. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 la ubicaci\u00f3n de Choc\u00f3 fue determinante en el terremoto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    El epicentro del terremoto en Colombia se localiz\u00f3 en el municipio de San Jos\u00e9 del Palmar<\/strong>, dentro del departamento de Choc\u00f3, una zona caracterizada por su intensa actividad tect\u00f3nica. El SGC explica que la superficie de la Tierra est\u00e1 dividida en enormes bloques continentales en constante movimiento. Cuando estas masas rocosas colisionan o se rozan lateralmente<\/strong>, la ruptura genera ondas s\u00edsmicas de gran magnitud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    El presidente de la Rep\u00fablica, Abelardo de la Espriella, quien asumi\u00f3 el cargo hace tres d\u00edas, declar\u00f3 la situaci\u00f3n como “desastre nacional” tras instalar un Puesto de Mando Unificado para coordinar la atenci\u00f3n en las zonas afectadas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “No est\u00e1n solos. El Estado est\u00e1 presente y actuando”, anunci\u00f3 el mandatario a trav\u00e9s de la red social X antes de trasladarse a la ciudad de Pereira.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
