Earthquake in Chile

>earthquake in Chile
>8,3 richter scale
>11 deaths

>earthquake in Italy
>6,2 richter scale
>more than 240 deaths

>both earthquakes in big cities

Can someone explain that?

Italian city is like 1000 yo old I guess

europoors can't into solid infrastructures built after the 17th century

Quake happened closer to the surface.

The Chilean one was so strong that hit even Brazil.

A shack made of asbestos doesn't kill you if it falls apart
Also our was only 4km deep in an area with very old buildings

Implying people in South America have buildings to be trapped in

That was just your mom being plowed upstairs. The actual earthquake in Chile was thousands of feet underground while the Italian one was very close to the surface.

>thousands of feet underground
>feet

it's irrelevant considering how much more energy was actually released during the tremor, as OP said our latest eq was actually felt in some cities in BR, hell, check our eq history and you'll find stronger eqs at analogous depths

but anyway, OP, I guess it has to do with italian building stadards, they're not nearly as used to eqs as we are

The italian one happened 10 kms from the surface and thus is more locally destructive but your monkey brain can't understand this basic concept.

closer to surface, I don't know how long the one in Chile lasted but the strongest here lasted for over two minutes continuously.

It's almost like hundreds year old historic centres weren't designed with modern anti seismic principles in mind.

The japanese ones were
>italian buildings

sudaca people were a mistake, Juan

>still get irradiated because of earthquakes

wew nice job Japan.

>both earthquakes in big cities
lol, no

the earthquake in chile happened underground
>The japanese ones were
a small room made of paper is anti seismic, who would have thought
fuck off dweeb

indeed, but then again we also have some buildings straight from the colonial period still standing after our convoluted seismic history

also
>The Richter magnitude scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, which defines magnitude as the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitude of the seismic waves to an arbitrary, minor amplitude.

>As measured with a seismometer, an earthquake that registers 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times that of an earthquake that registered 4.0, and thus corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times that released by the lesser earthquake.[1]

>the earthquake in chile happened underground

I hope no one beat us in earthquakes, it's the only thing we are good at.

also being long as fuck.

it seems like you can't grasp the concept that energy dissipates over distance

While the italian one happened on the air
4 meters above ground

>valdivia
that's a big shake

at least you are not turk

It's actually the opposite, the deeper from the surface the more devastating it is

Chile gets hit by earthquakes quite often so most of their buildings are earthquake resistant like in Japan

italy is have more population density than chile

Time of the day must have made a big difference too. 8PM vs 3AM means different reaction times.

/thread

Also this earthquake happened in an area full of super old villages full of 16th century houses, of course they fell down like a house of cards

4 km

Actually I think we broke a world record

In Lorca it happened 1km from the surface.

es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terremoto_de_Lorca_de_2011

Dude you dont have to be a genius that the italian villages are very old and made with mud and rocks. Obviously such a houses wont handle an earthquake even if its only 6.x Here we can handle big earthquakes, but the oldest buildings in my city for example arent older than 40-50 years.

kek but hurt third world Italians

ITT Chileans that think being hated by nature more than others is a matter of bragging

The earthquake was very close to the surface and the towns it hit had old buildings and high population density

Chile survives earthquakes because constant loud volume reggaeton vibrations require THICC building to be handled.

Chile is literally worse than Japan. And that's why they're the best Latin American country.

Itallian city is 2000 years older!

Kek
All Chileans do this

We're the only ones that can brag.

>5 world cups
>2 world wars
>1 olympic medal
>no volcanoes, earthquakes and all that shit

Fucking sick burn

"The failures and the lack of seismic culture of Italy"

>Italy registered 2 earthquakes over 6.0 in 2009 and 2012. In both occasions, the cities were complete destroyed. Unlike Chile were the effects of an earthquake are lower each time.

>Italy is much different than Chile, because they keep the historical and cultural, therefore they renew they building keeping the bases, making them very dangerous

>For us a 6.0 would be a shake, but for them is like the 1985 earthquake in Chile when we didnt have good constructions

>They dont have alert systems, unlike us, we are very prepared. Also we have much more advanced tech than them. They dont even have escape signs or they have never made simulacrums in the earthquake zones.

>They have reasources to fix those problems, but the lack experience

Chileans aren't real humans. So the death counts are usually lower if they only count those with mostly "white" blood.

>dissing your only Latin American ally

Yeah.

Around anglos, never relax

Interesting

>all these Italians and other euros/euroboos spouting memes because they can't deal with reality

lol these third world beaners are really desperate

they have less deaths because there is nothing more to destroy in that favela niggerhole

What did he mean by this?

@63978245

that's how pirates behave

he's probably a rasheed

For you

>Italy is much different than Chile, because they keep the historical and cultural, therefore they renew they building keeping the bases, making them very dangerous

So they should destroy the extremely old buildings to have only soulless shit?

a straw roof falling on your head doesn't kill you, a concrete one does :^)

Italy is not a developed nation.

deaths

I have to say, that was mostly Hearth attacks rom old people, driving accidents, and a 2 peruvians.

Because some of our buildings have originated during the mesozoic era and are a cultural heritage to the world

WHAT ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE THAT HAPPENED HERE??

NOT EVEN A MENTION???

This.
Chile might be better prepared against earthquakes, but what about a pack of Allosaurus?

as stated before in the thread, Italy's earthquake was closer to the surface, causing more surface damage.

also Italy's buildings were 400+ years old, while almost all of Chile's buildings are constructed to withstand earthquakes by following strict building codes. Of course late-renaissance era buildings would fold like paper in a region that isn't well known for earthquakes.

that, or die with 6.0 quakes...

Im pretty sure they would be happy from hell seeing those old houses being preserved

Who this

>both earthquakes in big cities
What? in Italy in that area there were only small villages

In conclusion, the Chile is great and very advanced because nobody died for earthquakes than Italy, well good for the Chileans.
Who cares?

great, we could feed our spinosaurus

>in these threads
-Chileans in full "senpai plz notice me" mode because earthquakes are the only thing for which they are known
-People who don't understand seismology and believe that the Richter scale is the only thing that tells you how much an earthquake can be destructive
-People who believe Italians still live in houses built by the Romans
-People who don't know that the economy of that place was based on tourism and the tourists were only there to see the medieval village, then tear down those buildings meant destroying the town's economy
-People who don't understand that the last earthquake that those people have had was 300 years before, so no one bothered to spend money on building earthquake-proof houses
-No one know that this year Taiwan had a 6.4 23 km depth earthquake with a death toll of 117 and they are one of the most prepared countries against earthquakes
-No one cares of cute Myanmar

>implying a lanky piscivore could take on a pack of highly specialized, blood thirsty hunters

says the faggot living in a literal 3rd world cesspit caught in the middle of a middle-east tier civil war.

>Italians trying to teach chileans about earthquakes

That was last year earthquake, which was also followed by tsunami. Death tolls were lower because we are MUCH more prepared than Italians.

kek

you're right nigger nation

no one gives a fuck

Italian can't handle heat.

It's 30 degrees right now at 11 PM
If we're not dead I guess we can more or less

wena nido nido org nido negro nido negro anime

Italians can't deal with volcanoes either. For us a volcano eruption just means that the airplane flights to Argentina get cancelled.

...

You were unlucky that it happened the same time as that of a relevant country, bro.
How many ded?

>Make fun of people in the Americas for building with wood
>Get buried under heaps of stone and concrete during a minor earthquake
