How much money did Chile get from the earthquake?
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
Why was Haiti's earthquake more powerful than Chile's?
Because Haiti is a place where the buildings are made of sticks and bricks. Nothing there is well built. There were not prepared for a large earthquake. Chile is a place where the buildings and houses were well built and there bridges were made of strong stone and cement. They have had large earthquakes in the past and were very prepared for the this large earthquake.
How big was haiti earthquake compared to Chile earthquake?
"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
How many degrees was the Earth's Axis tilted during the Haiti Earthquake?
The Earth's axis was not tilted during the Haiti Earthquake. The earthquake occurred due to the movement of tectonic plates along a fault line beneath the Earth's surface, causing the ground to shake. This movement did not affect the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Was the earthquake in Haiti the strongest in Haiti?
Yes. Some people described as the worst natural disaster in history! Many lives were lost in Haiti and it will take a while until everything is normal once more.
Who got it worse Chile or Haiti?
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.

Difference in homes in less developed countries and developed countries?
homes in less developed countries are built more poorly than in developed countries. for example, when the earthquake struck haiti and shortly sfter there was a stronger earthquake in chile, haitis affect was much worse because of their building's structures.
Since the 2010 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Chile was 500 times more powerful than the 7 point quake in Haiti why was Haiti's so much more deadly?
it was actually 800 times more powerful, but with the close proximity that the Haiti earthquake struck to the major population center of Port Au Prince, combined with the lower quality of infrastructure in Haiti, this is why it caused so much more devastation.
Is Chile's earthquake bigger than Haiti's?
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.
