The February 27, 2010, earthquake left almost 500 confirmed deaths, about 200 missing persons, and a total damage of US $30 billion
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 cost to fix the damage from Haiti's earthquake in 2010 was estimated to be around $7.8 billion.
The cost of rebuilding Chile after the 1960 earthquake, which was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded, exceeded $550 million. The earthquake caused widespread destruction, including infrastructure damage and loss of life, resulting in a significant economic toll on the country.
well, because Chile is a rich country, and only 717 died in the earthquake, they probably got less than 10million, but the haiti earthquake is far more damaged, and haiti is one of the poorest country, so there houses were less developed
The 2010 Haiti earthquake caused widespread devastation, resulting in an estimated 230,000 deaths and leaving around 1.5 million people homeless. The earthquake also caused significant damage to infrastructure, including buildings, roads, and utilities.

i would like to know too
