On March 26, 1812, at approximately 4:07 PM local time, a massive M 7.7-8.0 earthquake leveled Caracas (Venezuela). An estimated 15,000–20,000 people perished as a result, in addition to incalculable material damage.
- The Syzygy Factor: It was a Full Moon (Syzygy) day. This created a high-stress window (TSW) where the tidal pull was rapidly increasing toward its maximum.
- The Sublunar Position: The Sublunar Latitude (-0.5°) and Longitude (-2.8°) placed the Moon almost directly over the Equator. This created a symmetrical tidal bulge affecting both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, targeting the Caribbean and the Peru-Chile Trench (as noted in our “Target Faults”). Our calculated Tidal Stress Belt (TSB) covered the whole affected region, including Caracas (10° N). This band perfectly captures the southern Caribbean and the most vulnerable sections of the Mexican southern coast, explaining why these regions often fail in tandem during these windows.
