READ ALSO: In Colombia, up to 2,500 earthquakes can occur per month, according to the SGC. The Colombian Geological Survey emphasizes the importance of seismic awareness in a country that is highly active in terms of seismic activity. Colombia, located in an area where various tectonic plates converge, experiences earthquakes throughout much of its territory due to this geological interaction. Coastal regions and areas surrounding the mountain ranges are particularly prone to seismic activity. On average, the country records approximately 2,500 earthquakes per month. However, most of these earthquakes have insignificant magnitudes and intensities, and many of them are imperceptible to the population. Over the past three decades, the National Seismic Network of Colombia has documented nearly 300,000 of these events, highlighting the constant seismic activity that defines the country.
