The 2007 Guatemala earthquake occurred on June 13 at . The epicenter was located in the Pacific Ocean, south of Puerto Quetzal, about south-southwest of Guatemala City. The quake was reportedly felt in Guatemala, El Salvador and parts of Mexico. The quake caused a minor landslide on the Inter-American Highway, and a small number of houses were reported to have been damaged or destroyed along Guatemala's south coast, but there were no reports of major damages or casualties.〔 While the USGS assigned a magnitude of 6.7 for this event, many local seismological agencies in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua only registered the quake in the 5.5–6.0 range. These calculations are more accurate due to the seismographs' locations closer to the epicenter, and are in agreement with the minor shaking reported by residents. In addition, the USGS coins all movements as earthquakes, while in Latin America, small movements such as this one are called tremors ("temblores" in Spanish).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Real Academia Española )〕 ==See also== * List of earthquakes in Guatemala 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007 Guatemala earthquake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
