Venezuela's Twin Earthquakes: Rare 'Seismic Doublet' and Reshaping of Earth's Crust

Venezuela's recent twin earthquakes, classified as a rare 'seismic doublet', have significantly reshaped the Earth's crust, as revealed by new satellite imagery. This phenomenon occurs when stress is transferred between parts of a fault, leading to closely successive quakes.
