Perhaps the consequences of an earthquake, affect us all collapse not only of some few houses and a few victims who did not know:
According includes BusinessWeek, the magnitude 8.8 earthquake of February 27 - which so far has killed more than 700 people in Chile, could have affected the axis of rotation of the earth:
Chilean Quake Likely Shifted Earth's Axis, NASA Scientist Says - Day length could have been cut by 1.26 microseconds and the axis on which balances the mass of the Earth could have moved about 8 cm.
However, for now, this statement is not based on observations, but the result obtained in a computer model in which researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA reproduced the earthquake to know their potential effects.
The results are quite similar to those calculated for the 9.1-magnitude earthquake that struck the Indian Ocean in 2004.
addition, it also could have shifted the position of several cities:
Chile Earthquake Moved Entire City 10 Feet to the West - GPS measurements taken before and after the earthquake, the fifth largest on record, reveal that the entire city of Concepción have moved three feet to the west. The country's capital, Santiago, would have moved 30 centimeters in the same direction. And even Buenos Aires, located 1,300 km from the epicenter would have moved 2.5 cm from its previous location.
