According to experts, this rare double earthquake was the result of a geological energy accumulation process that lasted for hundreds of years.

Sergio Barrientos, Director of the National Seismological Centre at the University of Chile, stated: "This region experienced major earthquakes in 1812, 1900, and 1967, indicating a long seismic history. The movement between the Caribbean and South American tectonic plates at a rate of approximately 2 cm per year causes energy to accumulate over time. When the pressure exceeds the limits of the faults, they fracture and cause earthquakes. This is exactly what happened with the two recent earthquakes in Venezuela."
