2月27日,智利发生里氏8.8级地震,其释放的能量是海地1月份发生的7级地震的上百倍,但幸运的是,智利的死亡人数却相对不多。据海地政府估计,有22万人死于地震。但是智利政府3月2日公布的数据显示,智利的死亡人数是795人。为什么会出现智利地震震级更高、而破坏程度却低于海地地震的现象?专家分析,除了拥有较高的建筑质量,智利人较强的防震意识也是原因之一。 On February 27, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck Chile, releasing energy a hundred times as much as the magnitude seven earthquake that hit Haiti in January. Fortunately, the death toll in Chile is relatively small. According to the Haitian government, 220,000 people died of the earthquake. However, the data released by the Chilean government on March 2 showed that the death toll in Chile was 795. Why Chile earthquake magnitude higher, but the damage is lower than the Haiti earthquake phenomenon? Expert analysis, in addition to having a higher quality of construction, Chileans strong sense of shock is one of the reasons.
