The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center pointed out the possibility of local tsunamis within 100 km mi of the epicentre, although small, but violent waves were seen in the Pichilemu and Bucalemu area. One person was reported dead. At least eleven aftershocks immediately followed, causing panic throughout coastal towns between the Coquimbo and Los Lagos regions. The earthquakes were especially destructive in the epicentre town, Pichilemu, capital of Cardenal Caro Province. The city hosts five National Monuments of Chile, of which two, the Agustín Ross Park and the Agustín Ross Cultural Centre, were seriously damaged by the earthquake. They also damaged the villages of La Aguada and Cardonal de Panilonco. Rancagua, the capital of O'Higgins Region, was also damaged, leading President Sebastián Piñera to declare a state of catastrophe in that region. Background thumb|left|The city of Pichilemu suffered major damage in the 27 February 2010 earthquake and tsunami. Nearly all of the territory of Chile lies above the convergent boundary where the Nazca plate subducts beneath the South American plate at a rate of about 71 mm per year. Earthquakes occur along the plate interface and in both the subducting and overriding plates. Within the South American plate shallow earthquakes occur on reverse, normal and strike-slip faults.Santibáñez I. Cembrano J. García-Pérez T. Costa C. Yáñez G. Marquardt C. Arancibia G.

The Pichilemu earthquakes were caused by the change in regional stress from the 27 February earthquake. Preliminary analyses by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) of the 11 March earthquake locations and seismic-wave radiation patterns suggested that the events resulted from normal faulting within the subducting Nazca plate or the overriding South America plate, unlike the 27 February earthquake, which occurred as thrust faulting on the interface between the two plates. Later in 2010, University of Chile Seismologist Sergio Barrientos stated that the earthquakes were produced inside the South American plate.Barrientos Sergio E. 10 November 2010 Terremoto (M=8.8) del 27 de febrero de 2010 en Chile Revista de la Asociación Geológica Argentina 412–420 67 9 http://www.scielo.org.ar/pdf/raga/v67n3/v67n3a11.pdf 4 June 2012 es https://web.archive.org/web/20131211085654/http://www.scielo.org.ar/pdf/raga/v67n3/v67n3a11.pdf 11 December 2013 live The earthquakes' depths were estimated as 33.1 km mi and 31.0 km mi by the University of Chile Seismological Service (Servicio Sismológico de la Universidad de Chile),El mayor fue de 7,2° Richter The strongest was of 7.2° Richter Chile.com 11 March 2010 es 2 September 2010 http://www.chile.com/tpl/articulo/detalle/ver.tpl?cod_articulo=118476 https://web.archive.org/web/20100315132704/http://www.chile.com/tpl/articulo/detalle/ver.tpl?cod_articulo=118476 15 March 2010 deadhttp://24horas.cl/videos.aspx?id=63158 Réplica: Onemi sitúa epicentro en Pichilemu Aftershock: Onemi locates epicenter in Pichilemu Televisión Nacional de Chile 24 Horas 11 March 2010 2 September 2010 es https://web.archive.org/web/20120227154457/http://24horas.cl/videos.aspx?id=63158 27 February 2012 dead and 11 km mi and 18.0 km mi by the USGS.http://www.pichilemunews.cl/20100312_TraspasoDeMando.html ¿Los primeros signos del cambio?: Movido cambio de mando se vivió en el país ante nuevas réplicas del terremoto Saldías Washington Washington Saldías González 11 March 2010 Pichilemu News es 14 June 2011 Pichilemu, Chile https://web.archive.org/web/20100323150927/http://pichilemunews.blogcindario.com/2010/03/03325-los-primeros-signos-del-cambio-movido-cambio-de-mando-se-vivio-en-el-pais-ante-nuevas-replicas.html 23 March 2010 dead On 15 March 2010, seismologist Mario Pardo from the University of Chile Seismological Service ruled out that Pichilemu was experiencing a seismic swarm, after public concerns about the continued aftershocks in the area;http://www.cooperativa.cl/experto-descarto-que-pichilemu-sea-un-enjambre-sismico-por-alta-cantidad-de-replicas/prontus_nots/2010-03-15/075938.html Experto descartó que Pichilemu sea un enjambre sísmico por alta cantidad de réplicas Expert ruled out that Pichilemu is a seismic swarm due to high quantity of aftershocks Radio Cooperativa es 15 March 2010 2 September 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20121010113555/http://www.cooperativa.cl/experto-descarto-que-pichilemu-sea-un-enjambre-sismico-por-alta-cantidad-de-replicas/prontus_nots/2010-03-15/075938.html 10 October 2012 live as of that date, more than 50 aftershocks had occurred in the area, the strongest of them measuring 6.7 in the moment magnitude scale, minutes after the initial quake.http://www.cooperativa.cl/unos-50-sismos-con-el-mismo-epicentro-han-sacudido-chile-desde-el-jueves/prontus_nots/2010-03-13/184956.html Unos 50 sismos con el mismo epicentro han sacudido Chile desde el jueves About 50 tremors with the same epicenter have shaken Chile since Thursday Radio Cooperativa 15 March 2010 es 2 September 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20121010113508/http://www.cooperativa.cl/unos-50-sismos-con-el-mismo-epicentro-han-sacudido-chile-desde-el-jueves/prontus_nots/2010-03-13/184956.html 10 October 2012 live From the pattern of aftershocks, it has been suggested that the earthquakes originated from rupture along a previously unknown geological fault, the Pichilemu Fault, between Pichilemu and the commune of Vichuquén in Maule Region, at 15 km depth, 40 km in length and 20 km wide.http://latercera.com/contenido/680_261687_9.shtml Pichilemu tiene falla geológica que genera oleada de réplicas en esa zona Pichilemu has geological fault that generates wave of aftershocks in that area Fernández O. 22 May 2010 La Tercera es 30 October 2010 Santiago, Chile https://web.archive.org/web/20120303085454/http://latercera.com/contenido/680_261687_9.shtml 3 March 2012 liveLange D.
