The manifestations of external geodynamics that have happened in relation to the earthquake of June 23, 2001, in the Andean high provinces of the departments of Tacna and Moquegua are presented here. In the Moquegua and Tacna urban center areas, provinces of Mariscal Sánchez Cerro (Puquina, La Capilla and Omate) as well as in Locumba and Tarata, the infrastructure that has been affected, is due more to deficiencies in construction and/or because of local physical characteristics of the ground and underground. It is concluded that the manifestations of external geodynamics of a wider span are located between the Highlands West border and the Incapuquio Faults system, having this strip acted like a probable resilience zone to the seismic waves.

Las manifestaciones de geodinámica externa que han acontecido en relación al sismo del 23 de junio de 2001 en las provincias alto-andinas de los departamentos de Tacna y Moquegua son presentadas aquí. En el área del centro urbano de Moquegua y Tacna, es decir las provincias de Mariscal Sánchez Cerro (Puquina, La Capilla y Omate) así como en Locumba y Tarata, la infraestructura que ha sido afectada es más por deficiencias en la construcción y/o por características físicas locales del suelo-subsuelo. Se concluye que las manifestaciones de geodinámica externa de mayor envergadura se situan entre el borde oeste del Altiplano y el sistema de fallas Incapuquio, actuando esta franja como una probable zona de rebote a las ondas sísmicas.

At the beginning of the new millennium, the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, aware of its mission to transmit environmental knowledge, organized a mega-event for World Earth Day (April 22 to 27, 2001) through the Faculty Research Institute. of Geological, Mining, Metallurgical and Geographical Engineering, thus initiating the environmental efforts that are being developed in Peru. Thanks to this event, an evaluation of national environmental management was made, a work to which many companies and institutions joined and renewed their commitment to develop an environmental policy for the sustainable development of our country.
