Colombia is located in a subduction zone, meaning earthquakes occur inland, where large masses of land are interacting between each other.
The last major earthquake to hit the country was in March 2015, when a 6.6 magnitude quake struck Santander Department. There were no fatalities.
In 2008, a 5.6 magnitude quake killed 11 people in El Calvario.
