On February 27, 2010, one of the strongest earthquakes occurred in Chile, destroying dozens of buildings, bridges and highways. As a result, there is a high probability of tsunamis throughout the Pacific basin. Residents of Chile in the area of the epicenter suffered the most. Authorities say at least 300 people have died.

Tsunami Victims Earthquake in Chile- a powerful earthquake that occurred on February 27, 2010 off the coast of Chile, causing human casualties over the past half century. The source of the earthquake was at a depth of 35 kilometers. The epicenter is 90 kilometers from the capital Bio-Bio Concepción, the country's second largest agglomeration after Santiago. The regions of Bio-Bio and Maule were hit hardest by the magnitude 8.8 earthquake. In the two regions, 540 and 64 people died, respectively. In the O'Higgins region, 46 people became victims of the disaster, and in the capital region - 36 people. The earthquake caused a tsunami that hit 11 islands and the coast of Maule, but the number of victims caused by the tsunami was minimal; most of the residents of the coast managed to hide from the tsunami in the mountains. Aftershocks, including magnitude 8.0, continued to rock Chile on February 28 and March 1.
A series of tremors with a maximum magnitude of 7.2 occurred on March 11, 2010 in Chile, causing a tsunami threat.
The tremors were recorded at 11:39 local time (17:39 Moscow time). According to updated data, the epicenter of the earthquake was located 150 kilometers southwest of the country's capital, Santiago. The source of the earthquake was at a depth of 35 kilometers. Tremors were felt in several cities in the central part of the country, including Santiago and Valparaiso. There are no reports of casualties or the extent of damage.
Also, a new earthquake with a magnitude of 5.7 in Chile was recorded by the National Space Agency of Ukraine on March 13 at 12 hours 34 minutes 42 seconds Kyiv time.
Characteristics of an earthquake
Main push parameters:
- epicenter - near the coast of Chile, 35.909°S, 72.733°W;
- time - 06:34:14 UTC;
- the depth of the source is 35 km.
Aftershocks and other earthquakes
20 minutes after the main impact, a follow-up shock with a magnitude of just over 6 on the Richter scale was recorded. An hour after the main shock, two more tremors with magnitudes of 5.4 and 5.6 were recorded. Two new tremors were recorded off the coast of Chile a few hours after an almost 9-magnitude earthquake. Their magnitudes were 6.9 and 5.4. They occurred approximately an hour apart and in the same area as the first earthquake.
Two new earthquakes occurred on March 3. The strength of the tremors was 5.9 and 6.3 on the Richter scale, respectively, according to the US Geological Survey. Tremors were recorded at a depth of 31 kilometers in 50 kilometers north of the city Concepcion.
One earthquake was recorded on March 13 at 07:34:42 (13:34 Moscow time) with a magnitude of 5.7.
Earthquake power
The magnitude 8.8 earthquake that occurred on February 27 in Chile may have shortened the length of the Earth's day. A laboratory researcher came to this conclusion jet propulsion NASA Richard Gross. The scientist calculated how the Earth's rotation should have changed as a result of tremors in Chile. Using a complex model, Gross and a team of scientists calculated that the earthquake could have shortened each Earth day by 1.26 microseconds.
According to experts, the city of Concepción, which suffered the most from the tremors, is now more than three meters west of its previous location. And the capital of the country, Santiago, has shifted 27 centimeters to the southwest. The earthquake also caused displacements in various parts South America from the Falkland Islands to the city of Fortaleza in Brazil. For example, the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, moved 2.5 centimeters to the west.
Earth's axis
As American scientists reported, due to the earthquake, the Earth's rotation axis shifted 8 cm towards 112 degrees east longitude.
Earth day
British scientists have proven that the time of day has decreased by 1.2 microseconds.
Affected
The Chilean earthquake caused a tsunami. Twenty minutes after the aftershock sea wave more than two meters high hit the coast of Chile. Waves hit 11 Chilean cities. On Robinson Crusoe Island in the Chilean Juan Fernandez archipelago, a three-meter wave killed at least five people. In New Zealand maximum height waves were two meters, in Japan - 1.2 meters, in Australia - 40 centimeters. The highest waves in Russia - 90 centimeters - were recorded in Kamchatka.
Consequences
About two million Chileans were left homeless as a result of the devastating earthquake, more than 800 people were killed, 1,200 people were missing, and 1.5 million homes were damaged. Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, in an address to the nation, said that in connection with the disaster, the beginning of a new school year postponed to March 8. A state of emergency was declared in some cities across the country.
Economic damage
According to the US-based international group According to disaster assessment (EQECAT), the amount of damage from the earthquake in Chile ranges from 15 to 30 billion dollars. According to Chilean authorities, as a result of the earthquake, the economy of the country, once considered an example of stability in Latin America, multi-billion dollar damage was caused, about 2 million people were left homeless, 1.5 million houses were damaged, of which 500 thousand were beyond repair. In the affected areas of the country, work is underway to restore water and electricity supplies.
Chilean winemakers also suffered. More than 125 million liters of the famous Chilean wine, worth $250 million, were destroyed by the earthquake. "Wine producers believe they lost 12 percent of the 2009 wine stored in tanks, barrels and bottles," said Alfredo Bartolamaus, who represents Chilean winemakers in the United States. Wine is one of the five the most important articles Chilean exports, and 70% of Chilean vineyards were located near the epicenter of the earthquake. The greatest damage occurred on farms in the Colchagua, Curico and Maule valleys. And the largest winery in the country, Vina Concha y Toro SA, announced a temporary cessation of production.
The damage caused to Japan's fisheries as a result of the tsunami that reached the country's shores on February 28 is estimated at 2.44 billion yen (about $27 million).
Humanitarian assistance
The first Il-76 aircraft of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation took off on March 3 from the Ramenskoye airfield near Moscow at 9:00. On board the aircraft - 28 tons humanitarian cargo, including tents, power plants, pumps, blankets and food. The European Union is also ready to allocate three million euros as urgent assistance to the population of Chile affected by the powerful earthquake, announced the Chairman of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso.
"Department humanitarian aid The European Commission is ready at any time to make a decision on the provision of urgent humanitarian assistance in the amount of three million euros in order to meet the most urgent needs,” Barroso said.
According to him, the EU is ready to provide the Chilean authorities with all the necessary assistance.
