Peru Historic Earthquakes 1963-2013

The maps below show very-strong (M6.6-M7.5) to major (M7.6+) earthquake events and their aftershock sequences in or near Peru and are based on data sourced from ANSS – Advanced National Seismic System.
The general parameters used are 1-2 degrees of distance surrounding the epi-centre and a time span of 60 days after the Major main shock in each case.
