The Area of Interest - February 2010 Chilean Earthquake and Tsunamis

On February 28, 2010 at 3:34pm a magnitude 8.8 earthquake which lasted 90 seconds rocked Chile. The earthquake was caused by a shift in the Nazca and South American tectonic plate convergence zone, which is an area where the plates converge at a rate of approximately 3 inches a year. It has been reported that the segment of the fault zone which ruptured is approximately 620 miles long and was displaced over 30 feet. This earthquake is the strongest earthquake on the planet Earth since the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake which caused the well-publicized and extremely destructive Pacific Islands tsunami. Although not nearly as deadly, the Chile earthquake was 500 times more powerful than the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti in January.
