The first one was a magnitude 6.7 M W earthquake that struck off the coast of Biobío, Chile, at 23:21 on 15 March 2010 at the epicenter, at a depth of 18 kilometres (11 mi). The second earthquake struck on land in the region at 22:58 (UTC) on 2 April 2010 at 5.9 M W and at a depth of 39 km (24 mi).
List of earthquakes in Chile. Chile lies in a region which is adjacent to the fast-moving Nazca Plate, and has high tectonic activity. The records for earlier centuries are apparently incomplete. Of the world's 46 known earthquakes with M ≥ 8.5 since the year 1500, one-third occurred in Chile [citation needed] and are shown in the map to the ...
Several earthquakes have occurred in Chilean territory in 2010: 2010 Chile earthquake (also called the Maule earthquake), the 8.8 magnitude earthquake on 27 February 2010 off the coast of Maule, which killed more than 500 people. 2010 Pichilemu earthquakes, the 5.9 magnitude earthquake that occurred on September 29, 2010, near Lolol.

A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
The following is a summary of significant earthquakes during the 21st century. In terms of fatalities, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was the most destructive event with 227,898 confirmed fatalities, followed by the 2010 Haiti earthquake with about 160,000 fatalities, [2] the 2008 Sichuan earthquake with 87,587 fatalities, the 2005 Kashmir ...
