After the cave-in, the miners were living in a specific part of the cave. Think of it as a "home-base" underground.
Once rescue workers discovered that the men were alive and doing well, they dug small holes from the surface to the home-base. These tubes were used to deliver food, water, medical supplies and other necessities.
In the meantime, rescuers worked on digging a larger hole that would reach the miners. A special capsule was built that could travel up and down this hole. When it was ready, the capsule was intended to bring the miners up to the surface, one man at a time.
After much testing, the plan was put into action on October 13. In less than 24-hours, all 33 men were brought up to safety. Onlookers cheered as each person was let out of the capsule and given a moment to hug their loved ones and rescuers.
The president of Chile is a woman called Michel Bachelet. The first woman elected in southamerica.
Colombia won there FIFA World Cup 2014 game by beating Uruguay two goals that were scored by James Rodriguez and they qualified for the quarter finals where they will face Brazil. Chile had lost early to Brazil on penalties after the game had gone into extra time.
Beef and poultry are two of the main farm live stocks in Chile. Fishing is a productive industry but fish farms are uncommon. only 5% of the farmland in Chile is arable meaning grazing lands are not turned toward agricultural crops. There is some sheep and goat production but beef is listed as the countries main resource in livestock.
The currency in Chile is called 'Chilean Peso' (CLP), or just 'peso'.
As rule of thumb, 1 USD = 500 CLP.
So, 5000 CLP = 10 USD approximately.
Yes a Civil War in 1891 any many other wars too like.... they began fighting for independence from Spain in 1810 and also many others.
It is difficult to generalize, since Chile is one of the longest countries in South America (more than 4300 kms long) with all kinds of regions and climates.
The average temperatures in Chile descend from North to South across the coast line, but a lower rate of descent is seen in the hemispheric average due to a smaller influence of the Pacific Ocean, which holds a current of cold waters moving North (Humboldt Current). The difference between average temperatures between North and South is about 12°C. Besides, the diminution of temperatures due to altitude in higher place should be considered also.
For example: in Iquique, a northern city, average max. temperatures are around 24°C. In Concepción, located in the central part of Chile, average max. temperatures are 17°C. While in Aysén, a southern city, the max. temperature is around 12°C.
Chile is considered among as one of a high-income economy of the World Bank and is considered as one of the most prosperous nation in South America. Chile's main exportation are mining, fishing and wine products respectively.
A common tree in Chile is the Prosopis tamarugo. The tree grows mainly in the Pampa del Tamarugal and the Atamaca Desert.

The country of Chile became a republic nation in 1818. Chile gained independence from the country of Spain on September 18, 1810.
Most deep mines are very warm. The two big sources of heat in mines are the rock (warmed by heat from deeper), which heats up the air, and autocompression.
Groundwater, etc, can affect the temp of shallow mines, but below a few hundred feet, it's pretty much that deeper = warmer. There are very few mines "near" magma sources, though some areas of the crust are warmer than others. Also, nearby water flows can affect the temperature. Deep mines are almost uniformly warm to hot, though.
The second source of heat is the compression of the air sent into the mines. Since the mine is so deep, the column of air is heavier, increasing the air pressure inside the mine. This increases the temperature of the air as well.
Finally, almost all of the energy from drilling, blasting, machinery, etc, ends up in the rock, warming it.
There are many delicious foods that are enjoyed in Chile. Traditional dishes include beef empanadas, corn humitas, and charquican stew.
Chile is a country in South America. Some interesting animals that live in Chile include the guanaco, armadillo, pudú, Andean condor, Chilean woodstar and rhea.
Chile is in fact an LEDC (less economically developed country).
It is quite similar to the Flag of TEXAS in USA, but the blue and star are only on the left corner, and the red goes below from left to right. Chile's flag was created before Texas one though.
There are no 'hot' deserts in Chile. The Atacama is the largest desert in Chile and would be the 'hottest' even though it is considered a cold desert.
Some of Peru's major allies include Mexico, Chile, Canada, and Israel.
