| Abstract: | Our inspection of available descriptions of the earthquake effects observed in Panama on 7 September 1882 indicates that the northern Panama seismic belt may be capable of producing major thrust earthquakes due to underthrusting of the Caribbean plate beneath the Panama isthmus. Clearly, the possibility of recurrence of a similar thrust event in this portion of the Caribbean-Nazca plate convergence zone must be considered when examining the potential for large, damaging earthquakes in the Panama-Colombia region. -from Authors |
