Much of the rupture zone of the 1942 earthquake overlapped with that of the 1996 Nazca earthquake. The rupture zone of the 1942 earthquake was about 40 km longer than that of the 1996 earthquake.ftp://white-dome.gps.caltech.edu/pub/avouac/Ge277-2007-fall/Spence_PAG1999.pdf white-dome.gps.caltech.edu FTP link The epicenter of the 1942 earthquake was very close to, but slightly southeast of, that of the 1996 earthquake.Source Characteristics of the 12 November 1996 M w 7.7 Peru Subduction Zone Earthquake Pure and Applied Geophysics 154 3–4 731 1999 Swenson J.

Building damage was noteworthy in the epicentral area. About 30% of the buildings in the city of Nazca were ruined. There were slides in the hills. The intensity reached IX (Violent). Tsunami This earthquake triggered a tsunami. In Callao, the amplitude of the oscillations of the tsunami was 1.6 m.Significant Earthquake Database https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/form?t=101650&s=1&d=1 https://web.archive.org/web/20060929000601/http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/form?t=101650&s=1&d=1 dead September 29, 2006 National Geophysical Data Center / World Data Service (NGDC/WDS) National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA 10.7289/V5TD9V7K 1972 Data Set In Lomas, the sea receded more than 200 m, and then it flooded the settlement with injuries reported.http://desastres.unanleon.edu.ni/pdf2/2005/enero/parte1/pdf/spa/doc9644/doc9644-b5.pdfAugust 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes See also List of earthquakes in 1942 List of earthquakes in Peru References International Handbook of Earthquake & Engineering Seismology Part A, Volume 81A Global seismicity: 1900–1999 E.
