Lake deposits reveal directional shaking during devastating 1976 Guatemala earthquake.

The earthquake killed more than 23,000 people and left about 1.5 million people homeless.

Severe ground shaking from the 1976 earthquake caused landslides and sediment-laden turbidity currents that can be seen clearly in cores taken from the lakebeds.
