According to U.S. scientists, the Buenos Aires territory was moved by 4 cm. and that of Mendoza, by 13.
The
Chilean Conception, the hardest hit by the quake, would have moved 3
meters.
The map shows how much every city moved,
according to
research (WIRED - UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII). The devastating earthquake that rocked the western coast of Chile on February 27, caused a displacement of 3 meters to the west across the city of Concepción and moved several centimeters to other cities in South America.
According to a report by researchers at the University of Ohio, the earthquake of 8.8 degrees on the Richter scale, considered the fifth most powerful earthquakes in the world, since earthquake databases began to be maintained worldwide.
Conception is now 3 meters away from where it stood before the quake.
In the case of the capital city Santiago de Chile the displacement of 27.7 centimeters traveled south west and the city of Valparaiso also moved significantly, the report acknowledges that this is,
Argentina also was displaced.
The researchers' deduced the movements of the cities by comparing
the precise
locations, established
through the global positioning system (GPS), from before the
earthquake and ten
days after the earthquake.
The specialist said,
Last month's earthquake in Chile was at sea and these data measurements were done on the ground, so the IMERIS’ spokesperson advanced that,
The report presented by the Ohio University, also benefited from the participation of the American Universities of Memphis and Hawaii, along with experts from Concepcion in Chile and the National Universities of Cuyo and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In addition,
investigators from the Military Geographic Institute of Chile also
participated.

El mapa muestra cuánto se movió cada ciudad,
de acuerdo
a la investigación (Wired - Universidad de Hawaii).
El devastador terremoto que estremeció la costa occidental de Chile
el pasado 27 de febrero, provocó un desplazamiento de 3 metros hacia
el oeste de toda la ciudad de Concepción y, movió varios centímetros
a otras ciudades de America del Sur.
Argentina también se vio desplazada.
Los investigadores,
El informe señala que el potente terremoto desplazó varios centímetros otras partes de América del Sur, desde la ciudad brasileña de Fortaleza a las islas Malvinas.
El terremoto del mes pasado en Chile fue en el mar y estos datos
fueron diseñados sobre la tierra, por eso el titular del IMERIS
adelantó que "seguramente en el mar la deformación o el
desplazamiento ha sido mucho más grande".
Además,
participaron investigadores del Instituto Geográfico Militar, de
Chile.
