1986 San Salvador earthquake

I organized the original information into three sections: the introduction, "Earthquake", and "Damage". I also added an "External Links" section which includes a visual map of the area area affected by the earthquake. I added "The hypocenter was found 7.3 kilometers under the south edge of San Salvador" after the first sentence in the first paragraph to clarify and add more information about the earthquake. I also added: "The 1986 San Salvador earthquake occurred within the upper crust of the Caribbean Plate along the Central American volcanic chain. It was a result of left-lateral strike slip faulting perpendicular to the Central American volcanic chain. The earthquake also caused landslides located in the San Salvador area." Some of the information in the article was plagiarized, as well, so I reworded the information located under "Damage". I added two new references and an external link, and i also checked for grammatical errors and sentence structures.
