There have been a number of "famous" or perhaps "infamous" Chilean earthquakes, including the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake, which with a magnitude of 9.5 was the largest ever recorded by seismometer.
Another was the earthquake that occured in February 2010 shortly after the devestating Haitian earthquake of January 2010.

What else can I help you with?
Where can one find information on geological faults?
Geological faults are planar fractures. More information can be found on sites such as Wikipedia, as well as the California Geological Survey website.
How did the US find out about the earthquake in Haiti?
The US Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center monitors seismic activity all over the globe. When earthquakes above a certain magnitude are detected, they inform the relevant authorities and organisations. Please see the related link.
What geologic features would you expect to find on the ocean floor near the volcano and earthquake areas on your map?
Near volcano and earthquake areas on the ocean floor, you would expect to find features like mid-ocean ridges, deep-sea trenches, seamounts, and hydrothermal vents. These features are associated with tectonic plate boundaries and geological activity, such as volcanic eruptions and seismic events, that occur in these areas.
What did scientists experiment to determine what went wrong with the tectonic plates during Japan's earthquake?
Scientists used a variety of methods, including geological surveys, seismic data analysis, and computer modeling, to study the movement of the tectonic plates during Japan's earthquake. They also investigated the structural integrity of the fault lines and fault zones to determine what went wrong and led to the earthquake.
Why do scientists need information from 3 cities to find the epicenter of an earthquake?
Scientists need information from at least three cities to determine the epicenter of an earthquake because each city provides a distance measurement to the epicenter. By triangulating these distances, scientists can pinpoint the intersection point, which represents the epicenter of the earthquake. Having data from three cities helps to confirm the location of the epicenter more accurately.
Where can you find information on the Indian ocean earthquake?
A good place to start would be the website of a national geological or geophysical survey agency or universities with departments of geology / geophysics or seismology. For more information on this specific earthquake, please see the related links

Did we just have an earthquake in orange county California?
I don't have real-time data access to confirm recent events, including earthquakes. To find out if there was an earthquake in Orange County, California, you can check reliable sources like the US Geological Survey (USGS) website or local news outlets for the most current information.

How long was the fault and how did scientists find this information out?
The fault that caused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake has an estimated length of about 296 miles (477 km). Scientists determined this information by studying the surface rupture, seismic waves, and geologic features left behind by the earthquake, combined with geological mapping and trenching techniques along the fault trace.
Where can one find information on earthquakes in California?
You can find information about earthquakes that have happened in California on the earthquake page of the USGS website. Alternatively you can find information on the about website under the geography section which has an article about earthquakes in California.
Where can one find information on natural resources?
Your local geological organization is a great place to find information on natural resources. Local libraries are also an undoubtedly good means of information concerning natural resources.
What is a good link to find information about Japan's earthquake and tsunami as well as the possible tsunami in Hawaii?
Google has started an Online Crisis Center in response to the devastating 9.0 magnitude earthquake that has hit Japan. Resources include a person finder tool, alerts, warnings, maps, etc. with real-time updates. Also the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides lots of information about earthquakes in US and worldwide. See related links below.
