How did Chile's days shorten by the earthquake?
The rotation that rotates the earth is called wobble. It's all science did you got to school? That's not too specific. Among the many interesting and horrifying facts about the 8.8 magnitude quake that struck Chile is this; scientists say that because of the Chile earthquake, Earth's axis shifted and the day shortened. Not by much on either count, but just the fact that an earthquake was so powerful to do either is astonishing. Nature truly has power that we cannot fathom. Many scientists agree including a NASA scientist that the Chile earthquake that measured a massive 8.8 likely shifted the Earth on its axis and shortened the day by about 1.26 microseconds. The Earth's axis likely moved about 3 inches. No one would be able to detect these movements on their own, but they likely happened nonetheless.
