Increase 'in intermediate seismicity rate below the Colombian Andes visualised and interpreted through combined local seismic tomograpy and hypocentral profiles: Eje Cafetero region and Bucaramanga seismic nest
The convergence of Caribbean plate to the north of South America which there is in an oblique collision with the northwest corner of the continent has been the result of the accommodation of Nazca plate with this sector of the continent after a change in the expansion rate of Galapagos triple junction in the oriental Pacifie from Pliocene. The Costa Rica Panama Choco Block (CRPCB) collided and emerged when Caribbean plate was assembled with North America and South America plates . As a result of the above-rnentioned Nazca plate converges between Eastern Panama and West Colombia as we observe it today. Recently the paper of the change angle of plane subduted has direct relation to seismicity increment in a region as for example Oleskevich et al. (1999), and Gutscher & Peacock (2003) . The asperity in siesmicity increases the hazard over great population region like Eje Cafetero in western and Santander in north eastern Colombia respectability . With the application hipocentral profiles and Local Seismic Tomography as visualization the possible geometrie configuration of the area of Nazca plate subduction between 3,50 7,5 0 N for explain this seismological phenomenon.
