Seismicity of the Chilean Coast - 1906 Valparaíso Earthquake

Seismicity of the Chilean coast identifies and describes the seismic activity of an area of Chile. Seismicity refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. The Chilean coast is on the southern part of South America, which is near a Pacific Ocean subduction zone. Major earthquakes in Chile occur in a small number of source areas. Those that affect coastal regions are aligned offshore from Concepción to the south. The major epicenters produce a predictable pattern of seismic and tsunami effects.
