CHILE EARTHQUAKE
The second earthquake produced in this f last time was in the south part of America, in Chile on January 27 at 3:23 am.
The epicentr was on the cost of the Maule Region with a magnitude of 8.8 in righter scale, lasting 90 seconds.
This catastrophy afected most of the country.
This auake was felt in six regions of Chile mainly in Valparaiso region where also a tsunamy ocurred few hours before of the movemnt.
The fatality victims were aproximately 800 and 2.000.000 of injured people.
Some parts of the coast were covered by water killing and destroying all the towns.
This earthquake is one of the biggest produced in Chile

RECENTLY EARTHQUAKES
In 2010 the Earth has begun to change, in the last siz months the world has experimented two of the biggests earthquakes ever.
HAITI EARTHQUAKE
The first one was in Haiti on January 12. This movemnt had a 7.o magnitude causing a real catastrophy.
The epicentre was near to the town of Leogane 35 km near to Puerto Principe, Haitis capital.
This quake was registrated on Tuesday, 12 January at 16:53, local time. By 24 Janyaruy at least 52 aftershocks were recorded. The Haitian goverment estimayr that the total balance of death people was 230.000, the injured people was 30.000 and 1.000.000 made homeless.
This earthquake cause damages in all the country specially in Puerto Principe where important buildings colapsed like The Presidents House, The principal Church etc.

ALL ABOUT EARTHQUAKES
The study of eartquakes is called seismology. At the begining of the history the first seismologists were the chinese who were very interested in this topic so they decided to investigate more about it, they start recordingall the quakes to know in ditail what were happening and why these are produced.
They also developed an interestiing method to predict quakes by felling a ceramic jar to the brim with water and leaving it set, if the water overflowed an earthquakes was imminent, off course this experiment was increalible an incertain because until today, and with the advanced techonology that exist, its impossible to predict this kind of phenomena.
One thing that has passed from generation to generation is the beleave of the fact that some species of animals can feel this quakes even minutes before it ocurre. In some cases the dogs and birds are the most sensitive animals.

MOST REMEMBERED EARTHQUAKES IN THE WORLD
The Earth has suffered long , very devastating movemnents and with a very high magnitude. But here Im going to point the earthquakes that have caused terrific damages and are the biggest eartquakes in the world
The deadlest quake ever was produced in China in 1557 whit an esrumated average of people death of 830000. This was a dramatic sismic movemnt it destroyed houese, streets and almost a town
Every year about 10000 people die because of earthquakes.

5-The increasing of Earthquakes in the world is a reality?
The number of large quakes constitutes as 6.0 and greater has stayed relatively constant. Since 1900 the scientists discovered 17 major eartquakes. Recently the two biggest earthquakes ever where in Haiti with 7.o and in Chile with almost nine grades in richter scale.
6-Change in Maps:
Because of these last two earthquakes it supouse that the Earth has moved aproximately 5 inche from it original place. Some scientifics expect that in a future places like Chile who has a very shaking stricture is going to separete of the continent

There are some important things and facts about that we have to know about this frightening movments:
1-Unsteady Ground:
Earthquakes happen every day everywhere, an important Earthquak Center in the US, NECIS, locates abot 5o earthquakes every day or about 20.ooo a year.
2- A look at last year:
At least 1,873 deaths worldwide resulted from Earthquakes.
3.The richter scale:
A scientific called Charles Richter developed this scale in 1935 as a mathematical comparation of the size of this earthquakes. The nagnitude is recorded by a seismograph.
4.Historyc Most devastating Quake:
The largest earthquakes registrated ever shakes Chile in 1977. It measured 9.5 on Richter Scale.

Every day ocurr thounsands of earthquakes, most of them too weak to be felt.
Every day scientific instruments detect about 500,000 quakes around the globe. Peolpe feel only an small fraction of those.
On average there are already 8 quakes that happen every year somewhere on Earth. But severe earthquakes on average happen once every five years.
This kind of movemnts cause widespread destruction, also they can pruduce burst dum, city destructions, volcano eruptions, and set off landslides and giant sea waves.
Most of the recent earthquakes had this caracteristics this causes noncontable damages.
