Understanding Earthquakes in Panama
Seismic Activity Overview
Panama has recorded 2 earthquakes in the last 30 days, with 0 in the last week alone. This relatively low activity suggests Panama is in a seismically stable period, though preparedness remains important.
Earthquake Magnitude Scale
Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale. Each whole number increase represents a 10× increase in measured amplitude and approximately 31.6× more energy released.
How Earthquake Depth Affects Impact
The depth at which an earthquake occurs significantly affects how it is felt at the surface. Shallow earthquakes (less than 70 km deep) tend to cause the most damage, while deep earthquakes (over 300 km) are often barely noticeable.
