There was an earthquake of a magnitude of 8.8 that struck off the coast of Chile saturday morning that had occured long ago in 1960, which struck 2,000 people across the Pacific. Both of the earthquakes took place along the fault zone where the Nazca tectonic plate lies under the Eastern Pacific Ocean south of the Equator. The two are combining at a rate of about three and a half inches a year.
This disastrous thing seems to be happening all over the world. The death rates are gradually increasing and things are getting worse all across the countries. These tend to generate tsunamis which makes things horrible and unsatisfying.
