Chile: Most Earthquake Prone Countries

Chile is highly susceptible to earthquakes as it lies on the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire,” a seismically active zone known for frequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

The country has experienced some of the most powerful earthquakes on record, including a 9.5 magnitude quake in Valdivia in 1960. In 2010, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake and the resulting tsunami claimed over 500 lives.
