Space Lasers Show How Venezuela’s Earthquakes Reshaped the Earth’s Crust

Satellites detected crustal displacement in Venezuela following two earthquakes, according to measurements released by space agencies. The shifts were measured using radar interferometry, a technique that compares satellite images taken before and after seismic events to identify ground movement. Scientists measured the extent of terrain changes in the affected regions. The data provides information about the geological impact of the earthquakes on the Earth's crust in that area.
