no.
The earthquake in Haiti in 2010 resulted in a higher number of casualties and greater destruction compared to the earthquake in Chile in 2010. The Haiti earthquake had a higher magnitude and affected a more densely populated area, resulting in a higher impact on human lives and infrastructure.
No.
Chile but more people were killed in Haiti because the effected area was more densly populated.
Chile's earthquake arrived at approximately 8.7! Haiti's earthquake struck at 7.6. Chile is more rich than Haiti so they have enough money to repair bulding and bridges and pay for the people who are in the hospital. As for Haiti, they are a very small, poor country and need America's help. So help Haiti now.
it is because haiti was a poor countrie and Chile was such a rich place for people to live in

I think in Haiti or Chile
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.
Yes and No. The Feb 27 Chile quake released much more energy( 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale) while the Jan 12 2010 Haiti quake released 7.0 but the Haiti quake killed over 210 000 people while the Chile quake death toll will perhaps reach 1000.
"chillean earthquake was 80 times stronger than the Haitian quake, based on 7.0 for Haiti and 8.8 for Chille" Wrong. The Earthquake in Chile was 819 times stronger than the one in Haiti. Haiti measured 7.0 in the Moment magnitude scale (which is the ONLY scale used to measure quakes these days. The Richter scale has not been used since the 70's...) while Chile measured 8.8. This is a Logarithmic scale which grows exponentially. Thus, a quake measuring 7.0 is 32 (not 10) times stronger than one measuring 6.0, and so on... So, 8.0 is 32 times stronger than 7.0; and 8.8 is 25.6 times stronger than 8.0. 32 x 25.6 = 819.2
