Cotilla Rodríguez Ciencias de la Tierra Cuba seismotectonics historical seismicity macroseismic evaluation Data concerning the Santiago de Cuba earthquake of 11 June 1766 are examined using information collected in the Archivode Indias, Seville, and other sources in Spain and abroad. The earthquake was felt over a large area including La Habana andJamaica. A damage distribution with reference to urban settlements is provided. The total number of casualties is estimated at 34to 40 dead and 700 injured. A tsunami did not occur. The approximate location of the epicentre was 19.9ºN, -76.1ºW, in the Bartlett Caimán Fault Zone. The focal depth is estimated at 25 km, the epicentral intensity is estimated at IX (MSK) and the magnitude(MS) at 6.8. Between 1578 and 1842 this sector experienced other strong seismic events: four of I=8 (MSK) and six of I=7 (MSK). 2003 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56842402 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.4 Vol.42 |
