Documents.
- Relation
du dernier tremblement de terre de Caracas.
Part of the original
article published by Louis Delpech, a french official stationed in
Caracas in 1812, in: Le Journal de Paris, may 15th
1813, Paris, France.
- An account
of the earthquake of Caracas.
Part of the document
published by Francisco Fajardo in: Quarterly Journal of
Science, N° 2, 1816. Note that Francisco Fajardo was not in
Caracas during the earthquake, he experienced the earthquake in Barinas
a village several hundreds of kilometers away from Caracas and from
Barquisimeto. The document was taken from: PDVSA,
Código Geológico de Venezuela
(http://www.pdv.com/lexico/pioneros/palacio.htm).
- El
Terremoto del año 1812.
Extract of the document
published by L. M. Buroz, an eye-witness who experienced the earthquake
in Caracas. Taken from: Centeno Graü, M. (1969). Estudios
sismológicos Biblioteca de la Academia de Ciencias
Físicas, Matemáticas y Naturales, Caracas,
Venezuela. Published in: STSHV (http://sismicidad.ciens.ula.ve).
Figures.
- Figure 6a.
Intensity center calculated for the Barquisimeto-San Felipe sub-event
of the 1812 earthquake without constraining the fault
strike. The star represents the intensity center determined in this
publication and the triangle the epicenter determined by Fiedler
(1961). The continuous lines represent constant levels for the rms(MWI)
corresponding to confidence levels of 95%, 80% and 50%. Dashed lines
represent constant magnitude values.
- Figure 8a.
Intensity center calculated for the Caracas sub-event of the 1812
earthquake. The star represents the Intensity center calculated in this
work without constraining the fault strike. The triangle
represents the epicenter proposed by Fiedler (1961). The continuous
lines represent constant levels for the rms(MWI)
corresponding to
confidence levels of 95%, 80% and 50%. Dashed lines represent constant
magnitude values.
