An earthquake felt in Santiago this Monday at 15.30. The seismology report announced the size.
This Monday, June 30, a tremor was felt in the central area of the country. Specifically, An earthquake was visible in Santiago around 3:30 pm.
According to the National Seismological Center, the Telluric movement was close to the Andes.
In his report, seismology reported that the tremors occurred at 15:30 in a place of 18.88 kilometers west of the Andes. The size was 4.1.
The size and intensity of a vibration are not the same
As described by CSN, no doubt a Earthquake, vibration or earthquake The process of generating elastic waves and its subsequent spread through the interior of the soil. By reaching the land surface, These waves produce soil movements and vibration.

They also contribute it to Chile, The term earthquake is used for an earthquake that generates structural damage, That is, it is reported intensively on Mercalli scale modified with rank VII or higher.
Easy is easy to be confused, as both concepts are connected, But the size and intensity They are not equivalent.
size It is a measure of the size of a vibration related to the amount of energy released in the form of elastic waves. The value is unique for each seismic event.
heavinessOn the other hand, it measures the effects of a certain event on humans, animals, structures and land. In Chile, the degree of modified Mercalli intensity (NCH3 E.61) is used, the intensity values are shown with Roman numbers that classify seismic effects with twelve adhesive levels in severity. Intensity Not only depends on the size of the earthquake (size) and the strength of the earthquake (acceleration)but also epicentral distance, Crazy geologyl, nature BY EARTH AND Type of buildings in luga. For the same vibration, Usually some intensity is reported
