The interaction of the plate tectonic movements formed the Northern Andean Block, separated from the Maracaibo Block by the Bucaramanga-Santa Marta Fault. The Northern Andean Block is subdivided into tectonic realms, with the Bucaramanga-Santa Marta Fault separating the Central Continental Sub-plate Realm in the west from the Maracaibo Sub-plate Realm in the east. It has been suggested that these two realms are dominated by respectively Nazca and Caribbean Plate subduction. The compressional stress regime caused the formation of the oblique sinistral Bucaramanga-Santa Marta Fault and dextral 3359: 1596: 55: 1637: 38: 83: 742: 1505: 750: 726: 4224: 734: 90: 62: 4236: 3345: 680:
The fault is divided into three segments; the main Bucaramanga Fault segment in the south, the Algarrobo Fault in the central section, and the main Santa Marta Fault segment in the northern part of the fault system. Between the two main outcropping segments, the Algarrobo Fault is present in the
