Today I have been working on a some facts about the worlds biggest earthquake. Here is the work:
This happened in Chile, Valdivia May the 22nd 1960
How much damage was caused by this horrifying event that happened in Chile where a ginormous 25 metre (80 foot) tsunami and the combined effects of the earthquake disaster let two million people go homeless.Though the deaths toll in Chile was never fully really resolved early estimates of death worldwide,ranging into the thousands were scaled back to 1,655 were injured about 3,000 people were injured to this horrifying event.The tsunami travelled across the Pacific ocean in the hours after the earthquake the waves killed 61 people in Hawaii nearly 140 in japan,and 32 in the Philippines.
How big was the earthquake? It was 9.5 magnitude the biggest earthquake in the world.
How many lives were taken in this horrifying event?Around 1,000 people died from this earthquake and 3,000 people got injured.
How much did the damage cost?where a ginormous 25 metre (80 foot) tsunami and the combined effects of the earthquake disaster let two million people go homeless.
What caused this-by the Nazca plate releasing tension and descending 15 meters underneath the South American Plate. It happened 30.5 km off the Chile coast.
