An average 4.6-magnitude earthquake hits 84 km southwest of Santa Barbara, Bolivia, in the morning
Earthquake 4.6 August 1 11:26 am (GMT -4)
A moderate to deep earthquake of magnitude 4.6 was reported in the morning near Santa Barbara, de Potosi Province, Bolivia, according to the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ). The earthquake struck on Sunday, August 1, 2021 at 11:26 am local time in Medium to great depth 227 km. The strength of the earthquake may have dampened its great relative depth below the surface, making it feel weak in absolute terms. The exact size, focus, and depth of an earthquake can be reviewed within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and improve their calculations, or when other agencies release their reports. The Seismological Center (EMSC) also recorded the quake with a magnitude of 4.6, and according to preliminary calculations, we do not expect many people to feel the earthquake and it did not cause any damage. In San Cristobal de Liebes (pop 75, 62 km), Santa Barbara (pop 2400, 84 km), Tupiza (pop 22200, 101 km), the earthquake may not have been felt. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the size and depth if these things change and follow up if other important earthquake news becomes available.
