The 1967 Neiva earthquake occurred at 10:24 local time (UTC-05 ) on February 9 in Colombia . The epicentre of the earthquake was located in San Vicente del Caguán in the department of Caquetá . The earthquake, associated with the Algeciras Fault , part of the megaregional Eastern Frontal Fault System , had a moment magnitude of 7.0 and an intensity of VIII and was felt in northwestern South America from Caracas to Iquitos and Buenaventura to Mitú . In the following months, 350 aftershocks were registered in the area. The earthquake produced 98 fatalities and approximately 600,000 USD in damage.
Description [ edit ]
While the earthquake is commonly referred to as the Neiva earthquake, the epicentre was not located in Neiva as first reported,[1] or Algeciras as later reports state,[2] yet in San Vicente del Caguán in northern Caquetá .[3] The earthquake had a moment magnitude of 7.0 and an intensity of VIII.[4] The earthquake was felt from Caracas in Venezuela in the north to Iquitos in Peru in the south and from Buenaventura in southwestern Colombia in the west to Mitú , at the border with Brazil in the east.[5] In the three days after the earthquake twenty aftershocks were felt and the seismological observation centre of Bogotá registered 350 aftershocks in the next month.[3]
Activity of the Algeciras Fault , a dextral strike-slip fault and segment of the megaregional Eastern Frontal Fault System that forms the boundary between the North Andes and South American Plates ,[6] is associated with the earthquake. The earthquake was manifested surface rupturing or cracking in the vicinity of El Paraíso , which is situated on the fault trace northeast of Algeciras.[7]
The areas of Colombia , El Paraíso and Vegalarga were destroyed by the earthquake and Neiva and other populated areas in the north of Huila and south of Tolima notably affected.[8] In Neiva, 15 fatalities were counted and 100,000 people affected.[5] Part of the church of Neiva collapsed. In the Colombian capital Bogotá, the tower of the San Juan de Dios Church collapsed as well as at least fifty walls as a result of the earthquake.[3] A total damage of 600,000 USD was estimated as a result of the earthquake,[9] of which 130,000,000 pesos in Huila alone.[10]
