Chile Earthquake 2010
At 27th February 2010, an earthquake with magnitude 8.8 stroke Chile at 03:34 a.m. local time (06:34 UTC), the earthquake lasted around 4 minutes. This earthquake was destructive, and the 2nd largest magnitude if it is compared to the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake with magnitude 9.5. The cities experienced the strongest shaking on the Mercalli intensity scale – were Talcuhuano, Arauco, Lota,Chiguayante, Cañete, Talca, Concepcion, and San Antonio (2010). The earthquake was felt in the capital Santiago at Mercalli intensity scal VIII (destructive). The tremor was felt by many Argentine cities, including Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, and La Rioja.
Because of the earthquake, many tsunamis warning sent. The sum of the warnings were to 53 countries, and a tsunami was recorded, with amplitude of up to 2.6 metre (8 ft 6 in) high at Valparaíso. It was confirmed that at least 279 people, while the others were missing.
Seismologists estimated that the power of the earthquake, it may have shortened the length of theday by 1.26 microseconds and moved the Earth’s figure axis by 8 cm or 2.7 milliarcseconds. It also moved the entire city of Concepción 3.04 metres (10ft) to the west. The capital Santiago, moved almost by 24 centimetres (10 in) west, and even Buenos Aires, nearly 800 miles from the epicenter, shifted 3.9 centimetres (1.5 in).
The earthquake caused by the movement of 2 boundaries, those are the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. This earthquake was characterized by a thust-faulting focal mechanism, caused by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate.
According to Associated Press Television News cameramen, there were some buildings collapsed in Santiago and there were power outages in parts of the city. A fire was reported in a chemical plant in an outskirt of Santiago and caused an evacuation of the neighbourhood. Santiago’s International Airport apparently has been destroyed because of the earthquake and the airport authority has closed off all flight for the next 24 hours from around 12:00 UTC. The Fine Arts Museum also destroyed, and also 3 hospitals in Santiago.
In Valparaíso, a tsunami wave of 1.29 m was reported. The port of Valparaíso was orderd to be closed due to the damage caused by the earthquake. The port started to resume limited operations on February 28. In Viña del Mar, a touristic city and a part of Greater Valparaíso, several buildings were damaged structurally.
A tsunami warning, first declared for Chile and Peru, and a tsunami watch for Ecuador, Colombia, Antartica, Panama, and Costa Rica. The warning was later extended to a Pacific Ocean-wide warning, covering all coastal areas on the Pacific Ocean except the west coast of the United States, British Columbia, and Alaska. Hawaiian media reported that tsunami warning sirens sounded at 6 am local time. he U.S. Tsunami Warning Center issued advisories about potential tidal waves of less than 1 m (3 ft 3 in) striking the Pacific Ocean coastline between California and most of Alaska late in the afternoon or through the evening 12 or more hours after the initial earthquake. Although the earthquake killed far fewer people than the Haitian earthquake less than 7 weeks prior, it was still devastating. The tsunami warning was cancelled for all countries except Japan and Russia in PTWC Bulletin 18 of 00:12 UTC on 28 February 2010.
In general, tsunamis tend to come in several waves, of which the first may not be the highest.
The tsunami warning included Chile, Oceania, and North America.
Oceania:
1. New Zealand
2. Antartica
3. Australia
4. French Polynesia
5. American Samoa
6. Philippines
7. Hawaii
North America:
1. British Columbia
2. California

Alfred Bernhard Nobel Biography
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born on 21st October 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden. He was the third son of Immanuel Nobel and Andriette Ahlsell Nobel, their oldest son was Robert Hjalmar Nobel, and their 2nd son was Ludvig Nobel.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was Swedishchemist, engineer, innovator, armaments manufacturer and the inventor of dynamite.
In the year of Alfred’s birth however, the construction business went bankrupt. Seeing nothing left for him in Sweden, Immanuel and his family moved to St. Petersburg in Russia, where a factory was set up, making mines out of gunpowder, for use by the Russian Army during the Crimean War. The demand for this product was high, the business was booming and Alfred Nobel and the other children received an excellent private education whilst in Russia. His father also insisted that he travel the world during his education, and by the age of seventeen, he was fluent in five different languages.
After having been educated in chemical engineering, Alfred Nobel returned to St. Petersburg to try and develop a safe way of handling the highly volatile liquid nitro-glycerine, which had recently been invented.
But back in Sweden, an explosion occurred involving nitro-glycerine resulted in the death of his brother, Emil. (3 September 1864)
In 1867 he patented the product, calling it dynamite. It was five times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder, and so very quickly became a sought after commodity in the world of mining and construction. Dynamite was used the world over, for work such as blasting the Alpine Tunnel on the St. Gotthard rail line and cutting the Corinth Canal in Greece.
These things were invented by Alfred Bernhard Nobel:
1. Dynamite 1866, he received the patent in 1867 Dynamite 1866, he received the patent in 1867
2. Firing Rubber (cotton powder dissolved in black), almost risk-free for transporting and handling firing Rubber (cotton powder dissolved in black), almost risk free for the transport and action
3. Firing Gelatin 1875 Blasting Gelatine 1875
4. Ballistit, noble gunpowder in 1887 (one was vague gunpowder, composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin in equal parts) Ballistit, noble Gunpowder in 1887 (one was vague Gunpowder, composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin in equal parts)
Alfred Bernhard Nobel died on 10th December 1896 in Sanremo, Italy when he was 63 years old.
