One of the countries that is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire is Peru, which is why tremors are quite frequent and it is very likely that an earthquake could occur at any time. There are earthquakes that occur daily and cannot even be perceived by the population. For this reason and to know the details regarding the last earthquake, Depor shares information about the earthquakes that have been occurring during the end of the month of September, according to the report sent and published by the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP).
This occurs because the country, like Chile, Japan and others, is located in an area known as the Circle of Fire of the Pacific Ocean, an area that concentrates 85% of the world’s seismic activity. This is why it is very common for earthquakes to happen in Peru, so it is only important to be prepared.
