¿ES QUITO EL SIGUIENTE? DOS GRANDES TERREMOTOS SACUDIERON VENEZUELA. MEGA FALLA GUAYAQUIL–CARACAS.

Two major earthquakes have once again focused attention on one of South America's most significant geological structures: the Guayaquil-Caracas Mega Fault. This immense geological fracture runs through Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela, and various studies link it to major historical earthquakes. Quito, moreover, is located in a region crisscrossed by active fault systems that represent a well-known and extensively studied seismic risk. In this episode of A Thousand Stories, we speak with geologist and researcher Dr. Theofilos Toulkeridis, who explains with scientific rigor: 🌎 What really happened with the recent earthquakes in Venezuela? ⚠️ Is there a connection to the Guayaquil-Caracas Mega Fault? 🏙️ Is Quito prepared to face a major earthquake? 📜 What major earthquakes have destroyed Quito throughout history? 🏗️ Can current buildings withstand an extreme event? 🧭 What measures should citizens take before an emergency occurs? Beyond fear and headlines, this podcast seeks to understand seismic risk through scientific evidence, geology, and history, answering questions that concern millions of people. An essential conversation for those who want to understand how major geological faults work, what the true level of risk is for Ecuador, and what we can learn from past disasters to better prepare for the future. Recently, Toulkeridis reiterated that active fault systems will continue to generate earthquakes and emphasized the importance of citizen preparedness and reducing vulnerabilities. 🎙️ Science.
