Seismotectonics of the Panama Triple Junction region revealed by recent seismicity

Key Points

• Recent seismicity delineates critical fault systems at the Panama Triple Junction region, enhancing understanding of tectonic activity.
• Magnitude 6.0 earthquakes occurred in the area, suggesting significant seismic risks associated with the plate boundaries.
• Observational analysis across the Panama Triple Junction region identifies essential seismotectonic patterns influencing local geology.
• These findings support the need for detailed monitoring efforts to mitigate potential seismic hazards in the region.
