ALT A satellite-derived map of northern Venezuela’s coast displays red where ground shifted eastward and blue where it shifted westward. A thin white line marks where the fault ruptured below ground, stretching from about San Felipe to Morón and out to sea. The land above the fault line is mostly yellow, orange, and red. The land below the fault line is mostly blue and, below it, white. An inset shows the area around La Guaria in greater detail. It is mostly a deep blue, with a white line at the fault rupter and, above that, a red area near Catia La Mar. Credit: NASA
