On 24 June 2026, 22:04 UTC, an earthquake of magnitude M7.2 was recorded in the region: 21 km ENE of San Felipe, Venezuela.
- Coordinates: 10.4085° N, 68.5571° W
- Depth: 27.588 km
The blue and white areas of the diagram show the directions of compression and extension during the rupture; the shape indicates the fault type (normal, reverse, or strike-slip). The solution yields two mathematically equivalent fault planes — which one is the actual rupture plane is usually unknown without additional geological context:
| Plane | Strike | Dip | Rake |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 177° | 79° | -16° |
| 2 | 270° | 74° | -169° |
The data is preliminary (status: reviewed) and may be revised by USGS as additional information becomes available.
