Magnitude-6.5
earthquake strikes off coast of Chile
SANTIAGO,
Chile -- The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-6.5 earthquake
has struck off the coast of Chile.
The
quake was recorded at 5:49 a.m. local time (EDT; 0949 GMT) Monday, at
a shallow depth of 10 kilometres, some 600 kilometres from the city
of Puerto Quellon. No tsunami warning was issued.
Chile's
naval seismology office says it was not felt on land. U.S.
seismologists originally estimated the magnitude at 6.8.
Chile
is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. A
magnitude-8.8 quake and the tsunami it unleashed in 2010 killed 551
people and destroyed 220,000 homes. It was so strong it changed time,
shortening the Earth's day slightly by changing the planet's
rotation.
The
strongest earthquake ever recorded also happened in Chile, a
magnitude-9.5 in 1960.
