Abstract The Loreto earthquake of 26 May 2019 occurred below the extreme northeast part of Peru at a depth of 140 km within the subducting Nazca plate at a distance of 700 km from the trench Peru–Chile. The orientation of the seismic source was obtained from waveform inversion in the near field using velocity and strong-motion data. The rupture occurred in normal faulting corresponding to a tensional process with T axis oriented in east–west direction similar to the direction of convergence between the Nazca and South America plates. The analysis of the strong-motion data shows that the levels of ground shaking are very heterogeneous with values greater than 50 Gal up to distances of 300 km; the maximum recorded acceleration of 122 Gal at a distance of 100 km from the epicenter. The Loreto earthquake is classified as a large extensional event in the descending Nazca slab in the transition from flat-slab geometry to greater dip.

abstract On April 26, 1973, an earthquake with magnitude of 614 occurred at a depth of 40 km below Honomu (north of Hilo). Serendipitously, in the preceding February, one SMA-1 accelerograph and one Wilmot seismoscope were installed near Waikiki on the island of Oahu. Also, one SMA-1 accelerograph and three Wilmot seismoscopes were installed on the island of Hawaii. The records from these instruments provided the first strong-motion data for the State of Hawaii. The motion was dominantly horizontal. This finding explains the extensive damage to the Hilo area, reported to be about 6 million dollars.
