8.8 on the Richter scale
The 2010 Chile earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8. It was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded and caused widespread damage and casualties in Chile.
The 2010 earthquake in Chile had a magnitude of 8.8, making it one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. It caused widespread damage and triggered a tsunami that affected several countries in the Pacific region.
The Chile Earthquake in February was the biggest earthquake reported in 2010.
The Chile earthquake at 8.8 was about 100 times stronger than the Haiti earthquake at 6.8. The Richter scale is logarithmic. The difference between the earthquakes is 2.0, which is the logarithm of 100.
The biggest earthquake reported in 2010 was the Chile Earthquake on February 27 with a magnitude of 8.8.

Over 12,000 people were injured during the Chile 2010 earthquake.
In the year 2010 in the middle of June, there has been 32 miners trapped under ground in a mine. They have spent 2 and a half months there. Today, on October 13,2010, over half the miners were rescued. None of the miners have been injured, and none have died. Chile had an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 9.5 on May 22, 1960. Chile had an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 8.8 on February 27, 2010.
There were numerous aftershocks following the 2010 Chile earthquake, with some measuring as high as magnitude 7.1. These aftershocks continued for several weeks after the main earthquake, causing further damage and fear among the population.
The recent (February 2010) Chilean earthquake had a moment magnitude of 8.8. In the past, Chile suffered the worlds most powerful recorded earthquake which occurred on the 22nd of May, 1960 and had a magnitude of 9.5.
The epicenter for the 1960 Great Chilean Earthquake or Valdivia Earthquake happened near the city of Cantete about 100 miles south of the 2010 Chile earthquake.
10 of course! The Richter scale holds the numbers from 0 to 10. 0 is the weekest and 10 is the strongest yet there has never been an earthquake with a magnitude of 10. Th highest ever recorded was in Chile 2010 with a magnitude of 9.5.
