Earthquakes

1) An earthquake had occurred off the west coast of Nicaragua. 
2) The focus of the earthquake was in the Pacific Ocean and it was a shallow focus earthquake that had occurred. 
3) It had occurred when the Caribbean plate had collided with the Cocos plate. I believe that it is a transform boundary and the wasn't much damage done to near by cities. 
4) It was a 4.3 on the Richter scale. 
5) There was no real damage done by this earthquake, it didn't really effect the country that much except for big wave hitting the shoreline.
