Review of the geomorphological effects of the 1991 Limón earthquake

The Limón earthquake was one of the biggest disasters ever recorded in Costa Rica and Panama. This event had a magnitude of 7.7 Mw, occurred on April 22 of 1991 and had its epicenter at the coordinates 9.685 N and -83.073 W.

description The Limón earthquake was one of the biggest disasters ever recorded in Costa Rica and Panama. This event had a magnitude of 7.7 Mw, occurred on April 22 of 1991 and had its epicenter at the coordinates 9.685 N and -83.073 W. This study looks to determine the geomorphological effects resulting from the earthquake. The methodology consisted of a bibliographic review of the technical studies, scientific articles and maps carried out on the seismic event to generate a cartography and analysis that summarizes the geomorphological implications in the Caribbean region of Costa Rica and Panama. The geomorphological effects included tectonic uplift, liquefaction, landslides, a tsunami, an increased sediment load in the river basins months after the earthquake, and a probable relationship with recent coastal erosion processes. This event was a great lesson for Costa Rica and Panama on its seismic risk, geomorphological dynamics, as well as risk management in a major disaster.

Este evento tuvo una magnitud de 7.7 Mw, ocurrió el 22 de abril de 1991 y tuvo su epicentro en las coordenadas 9.685 N y -83.073 W. Este estudio busca determinar los efectos geomorfológicos derivados del terremoto. La metodología consistió en una revisión bibliográfica de los estudios técnicos, artículos científicos y mapas realizados sobre el evento sísmico para generar una cartografía y análisis que resuma sus implicaciones geomorfológicas en el Caribe de Costa Rica y Panamá. Los efectos geomorfológicos del terremoto fueron el levantamiento tectónico, la licuefacción, los deslizamientos de tierra, el aumento de la carga de sedimentos en las cuencas fluviales meses después del terremoto, un tsunami y una probable relación con los recientes procesos de erosión costera. Este evento fue una gran lección para Costa Rica y Panamá sobre su riesgo sísmico, la dinámica geomorfológica sísmica, así como la gestión del riesgo en un desastre de gran magnitud.UCR::Vicerrectoría de Docencia::Ciencias Sociales::Facultad de Ciencias Sociales::Escuela de Geografíaengacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRevista Geológica de América Central, 65, pp.1-13reponame:Kérwáinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRSeismic riskGeomorphologyTectonic upliftLandslidesCosta RicaPanamaCENTRAL AMERICARiesgo sísmicoGeomorfologíaLevantamiento tectónicoDeslizamientosPanamáCENTROAMÉRICAReview of the geomorphological effects of the 1991 Limón earthquakeartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleORIGINAL62.
