Earthquakes in Guatemala: tectonic background
Guatemala lies near the Cocos, Caribbean and North American plate boundaries. Offshore subduction and onshore strike-slip faults, including the Motagua system, contribute to regional seismic hazard.
Reading the monitor
Magnitude measures earthquake size and depth indicates where the event originated beneath the ground. Shaking intensity depends on distance, geology and buildings. EarthSentra’s records can be revised after review, and smaller earthquakes may not appear immediately. No recent events does not mean there is no seismic hazard.
Official information and practical safety
EarthSentra does not predict earthquakes or issue official warnings. For local information, consult competent national geological and emergency authorities. During shaking, protect your head and neck and follow local earthquake safety advice. Historic records should not be interpreted as current emergency reports.
For global context consult the USGS earthquake catalog and EarthSentra’s worldwide earthquake portal.
