I think in Haiti or Chile
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
The Earthquake in haiti was a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, following some very severe aftershocks including a magnitude 6.1 aftershock. This was the largest earthquake ever revocorded and had the largest aftershock also recorded
A monster 7.0 earthquake
I believe the January 10th 2010 Haiti earthquake was the 18th largest in the records.It was magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter Scale. It had the energy of a 32 million tons of TNT.To put that into perspective. It was 500 times less than the mag 8.8 earthquake to hit Chile on Feb, 27 2010 (15.8 billion tons of TNT) and 2,000 times less than the mag 9.1 Indian Ocean earthquake of December 26, 2004 (90.7 billion tons of TNT).One aftershock of the February 27th 2010 Chile earthquake at 08:01 GMT was almost as big as Haiti at mag 6.9.The largest earthquake on record was also just off the coast of Chile about 100 miles south of the 2010 one on May 22nd 1960. It was mag 9.5 earthquake and was 5,500 times bigger at 178 billion tons of TNT.
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.
An Earthquake.
I think in Haiti or Chile
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, the Haiti earthquake in 2010 was not the strongest earthquake ever recorded. The strongest earthquake ever recorded was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale.
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.

"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
