NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Significant Earthquake Information 1972 NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information 14 April 2022 10.7289/V5TD9V7K Tectonic setting The earthquake took place along the boundary between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates, at a location where they converge at a rate of seventy millimeters a year. Chile has been at a convergent plate boundary that generates megathrust earthquakes since the Paleozoic (500 million years ago). In historical times the Chilean coast has suffered many megathrust earthquakes along this plate boundary, including the strongest earthquake ever measured. Most recently, the boundary ruptured in 2010 in central Chile.https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2010/us2010tfan/#summary Magnitude 8.8 – Offshore Maule, Chile United States Geological Survey 6 March 2010 6 March 2010 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100301114502/http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2010/us2010tfan/ 1 March 2010 Damage The earthquake caused severe damage over a wide area, Valparaíso, Coquimbo, Illapel, Petorca and Tiltil were all affected. The parish church in La Serena was destroyed. Only a few deaths were recorded due to the earthquake, reportedly because a strong foreshock had caused people to leave their homes. The same is also true for the following tsunami with the inhabitants running to higher ground after seeing the water recede, so that only a few were killed.http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/results?EQ_0=400&t=101650&s=9&d=99,91,95,93&nd=display https://archive.today/20121214034442/http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/results?EQ_0=400&t=101650&s=9&d=99,91,95,93&nd=display dead December 14, 2012 Comments for the tsunami event NGDC 6 March 2010 Characteristics Earthquake At about 01:00 local time in Santiago, there was a strong earthquake, followed by several smaller tremors.

It was also observed at Callao, Peru and in Honshu, Japan where fields were flooded in Rikuzen and the Oshika Peninsula.10.3133/pp1707 2005 2015 2nd English, Japanese Atwater, Brian F.
