An earthquake measuring 8.8 has hit the country of Chile. The 8.8 magnitude earthquake shook Chile Concepcion, Chile late on Friday evening after the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake seats just over 200 miles from Santiago. To this in perspective, a 8.8 magnitude earthquake would be measured by one of the strongest earthquakes in history, making it far ahead and took that the recent earthquake in Haiti. The Haitian earthquake measured a 7.0 magnitude, which is very strong in its own right, but only shows how much more the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile is measuring.To put it in a little perspective, the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti a seismic energy yield of 32 megatons, while these measures 8.8 earthquake more than 5.6 tons of gig.

This event in 1960 was referred to as the Valdivia earthquake.As of 1.35 clock PST CNN reported that six people have died, and out of an item from Chile, she had been giving ten o'clock died.References: CNN ReportMagnitude equations
