Haiti
There were 2 major Earthquakes: 1)Haiti: Happened on January 12 and lasted 35 seconds. The earthquake was a 7.0 on the Richter Scale, and has caused major damage to the country. The USA has helped a lot, including the remake of "We Are The World" written by Micheal Jackson in the 1980's. 2) Chili: This earthquake was an 8.8 on the Richter scale and struck on February 27, 2010. Many earthquakes have happened around the country since the 1st earthquake.
The major cause of deaths for the Haiti 2010 earthquake was the collapsing of poorly constructed buildings and infrastructure, due to the country's lack of strict building codes and inadequate infrastructure. The earthquake's magnitude and proximity to densely populated areas exacerbated the impact, leading to a significant loss of life.
A major earthquake that has happened in the past is often referred to as a seismic event or a historic earthquake. The specific location where the earthquake occurred is known as the earthquake's epicenter.
It means that the earthquake is large and powerful.
