A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck Chile in 2010, killing at least 800 people. This earthquake was smaller than the 1960 Chile earthquake, which was a magnitude 9.5, the biggest earthquake ever recorded. Both earthquakes generated tsunamis across the Pacific Rim, including in Japan, where they caused damage despite no loss of life. The 2010 Chile earthquake disrupted industries like copper mining and salmon farming.
