1994 Bolivia earthquake

The 1994 Bolivia earthquake occurred on June 8, 1994, at 20:33 local time. The epicenter was located in a sparsely populated region in the Amazon jungle, 55 kilometres (34 mi) NNW of Reyes, Bolivia.

Description
The rupture was located within the Nazca plate where it is being subducted beneath the mantle of the South American continent. It shook the ground from Argentina to Canada and its oscillations were the first to be captured on a modern seismic network. ==Effects==
Effects
There were unconfirmed reports of five people killed in Peru's Arequipa and Cuzco provinces. Three deaths from Arequipa Province were attributed to a landslide while the other two in Cuzco Province died from falling debris or a heart attack. Many more were injured in landslides in other parts of southern Peru. In Cochabamba, La Paz and Oruro, the windows in many tall structures shattered. There were unverified claims of buildings damaged in Arica, Chile, and Manaus, Brazil. Limited damage to buildings was reported in São Paulo, Brazil, and Toronto, Canada, as well. In Chile, the tremors caused panic among residents of major cities, driving them out of buildings. It also disrupted power and communication services. Due to the earthquake's great depth, it was felt at places far from its epicenter. A geologist with the US Geological Survey described the effects in Los Angeles, California, as a "very gentle motion". Similar effects were observed in Sioux Falls, Sioux City, Minneapolis, and Omaha in the United States. ==See also==
