"Informe final de fallecidos y desaparecidos por comuna" 14 November 2012 On 27 February 2010 at 03:34 UTC−03:00, a ww y 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck off the coast of the Maule Region of central Chile. One of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded, it lasted approximately three minutes and was felt across six Chilean regions, home to roughly 80 percent of the country's population. The earthquake, which became known in Chile as the 27F earthquake (es Terremoto del 27F), was the largest to hit the country since the magnitude 9.5 1960 Valdivia earthquake and the strongest worldwide since the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The earthquake triggered a tsunami with wave heights reaching up to 24.1 m ft that devastated several coastal towns in south-central Chile, causing the most severe damage at Constitución. Tsunami warnings were issued across 53 countries, and waves caused damage as far away as California and Japan. The disaster resulted in 525 confirmed deaths and 25 missing persons, left approximately 370,000 homes damaged, and generated a nationwide blackout affecting 93 percent of the Chilean population. Economic losses were estimated at US$15–30 billion. President Michelle Bachelet declared a state of catastrophe and deployed the military to the worst-affected areas. Location/epicenter According to the USGS, the epicenter of the earthquake was about 3 km mi in off the coast of Pelluhue, a town in the Maule Region. This is about 6 km mi in west of the village of Chovellén, 15 km mi in southwest of the town of Pelluhue and at a point approximately 100 km mi in away from the following four provincial capitals: Talca (to the north-east), Linares (to the east), Chillán (to the south-east) and Concepción (to the south). Chile's Seismological Service located the quake's epicenter at about 34 km mi in off the coast of Ñuble Region in the Biobío Region. This is 60 km mi in north of Concepción and 170 km mi in south-west of Talca. Seismology and geology Nazca plate Geology of Chile 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 80 mm a year.February 2023 This earthquake was characterized by a thrust-faulting focal mechanism, caused by the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American Tectonic Plates. The end-regions of the rupture zone coincided with the Andean oroclines of Maipo (33° S) and Arauco (37° S). This has been interpreted as suggesting a link between upper plate (South American plate) structure and rupture length.Jara-Muñoz Julius Melnick Daniel Dominik Brill Strecker Manfred R.

In historical times the Chilean coast has suffered many megathrust earthquakes along this plate boundary, including the strongest earthquake ever measured, the 1960 Valdivia earthquake. More recently, the boundary ruptured during the 2007 Tocopilla earthquake in northern Chile.February 2023 The segment of the fault zone which ruptured in this earthquake was estimated to be over 700 km on long with a displacement of almost 10 meters, or 120 years of accumulated plate movement.http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/highlights/chileearthquakeFeb2010.html Chile Earthquake | Magnitude 8.8 British Geological Survey 27 February 2010 11 March 2011 11 May 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200511081933/http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/highlights/chileearthquakeFeb2010.html live It lay immediately north of the 1000 km on segment which ruptured in the great earthquake of 1960.Fountain Henry Underwater Plate Cuts 400-Mile Gash The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/world/americas/28quake.html 27 February 2010 27 February 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100303235619/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/world/americas/28quake.html 3 March 2010 live Preliminary measurements show that the entire South American plate moved abruptly westward during the quake.http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/chilemoves.htm Researchers show how far South American cities moved in quake, Research News, Ohio State University, March 8, 2010 Researchnews.osu.edu 23 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20100412040819/http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/chilemoves.htm 12 April 2010 dead A research collaborative of Ohio State and other institutions have found, using GPS, that the earthquake shifted Santiago 28 cm on to the west-southwest and moved Concepción at least 3 m 0 to the west.
