List of earthquakes in Chile

This list of earthquakes in Chile includes every known major earthquake that was felt or with its epicenter within Chile's current boundaries.
Statistics and Map.
Statistics for earthquakes with M ≥ 7.0 in Chile are detailed on the list below.
The region, which is adjacent to the fast-moving Nazca Plate, has high tectonic activity. To keep the list manageable, only earthquakes with magnitude ≥ 7.0 will be included, or if it has other notable features like the 2010 Pichilemu earthquake. The records for earlier centuries are apparently incomplete.
Of the world's 36 known earthquakes with M ≥ 8.5 since the year 1500, one-third occurred in Chile and are shown in the map to the side. Some virtually have the same epicenters like the 1604 and 1868 (in Arica), the 1730 and 1822 (in Valparaíso), the 1751 and 1835 (in Concepción), and the 1575 and 1837 (in Valdivia).
The strongest known recorded in modern times was also in Chile, the 1960 Valdivia earthquake.
