7.4 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Colombia: Why the Ring of Fire Makes It So Deadly || By Map

A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake has struck Colombia, leaving over 200 people dead and more than 3,000 missing. The epicenter was located near San José del Palmar in the Chocó region—one of the country's most vulnerable areas.

In this video, we break down the latest updates on the casualty count, search-and-rescue efforts, and the geological science behind why Colombia experiences major seismic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
