International Experts Studying Nicoya Fault
More
than 100 international experts in geology and
seismology have joined Costa Rican experts to
study the faul that could provoke a major
earthquake in Nicoya.
Since the 1980's, local experts detected a major
fault in the Península de Nicoya that has the
potential of an earthquake of great magnitude
for the area.
Experts from Germany, Japan, United States and
other countries arrived here over the last
couple of days and will be meeting all week.
The experts are clear that their study will not
result in predicting an earthquake, but rather,
will give them a better understanding of the
phenomenon.
One of the activities will take the experts on a
walk of the main active volcanoes in the
country, beginning with the Arenal.
