This type of quake is considered to be very strong and can cause significant damage and destruction.
The current M 8.3 quake is occurring in Chile, specifically in the coastal region of Coquimbo. It has been reported to have originated from a depth of 25 kilometers below the surface.
The impact of a M 8.3 quake can vary depending on several factors such as the location of the epicenter, depth of the quake, and the strength of the underlying infrastructure. However, generally, this type of quake can cause extensive damage to buildings, roads, and other structures, as well as trigger landslides and tsunamis.
Yes, there is a high possibility of aftershocks following a M 8.3 quake. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after the initial quake and can continue for days, weeks, or even months after the main event. It is important to remain cautious and prepared for potential aftershocks after a major quake.
If you are in an area affected by a M 8.3 quake, it is important to follow the instructions of local authorities, stay away from damaged buildings and structures, and be prepared for potential aftershocks. If you are in a coastal region, be aware of the risk of tsunamis and follow evacuation orders if necessary. It is also important to have a plan in place for any natural disasters and to stay informed through reliable sources of information.
