The palce where the biggest earthquake took place

In a way to introduce one place (Taht I will have to talk about in following blogs with more detail), I knew something very interesting. Perhaps, Chile is the zone of the world with the higest number of earthquakes are registered in since the year 1900. And in this land the biggest earthquake of this time was measured (with 9.5 degrees).

Below, there’s a list of the biggest earthquakes since the beggining of the XXth century (if you don’t belive me). Of course for more information, here is the link.
