Monday’s tremor was centered about 107 miles underground, though the USGS notes that “most of the large earthquakes in south America are constrained to shallow depths of 0 to 70 km.”
It was not immediately clear whether there were any injuries, deaths or significant property damage caused by the earthquake.
