Description

Welcome to Southern Pacific Review’sEarthquakeChile app for Android. To use this app, click on anyearthquake tosee its location on a map and the distance to nearbycities. Thenpost this data to Twitter or Facebook or send it outvia email.

This app shows earthquakes for the past few hours. There isonetab for the University of Chile Earthquake center and one fortheUS Geological Survey (USGS), as each have their ownmonitoringstations.

We do not read data directly from the Centro SismológicoNacionalUniversidad de Chile website directly, because that siteusuallycrashes when there is much traffic. Instead we read thedata fromEuropean-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) .UChile sendsthe data directly there and that site always works,even when thereis heavy traffic.

We also read data directly from the US Geological Survey(USGS).They only report strong earthquakes (> 4.0) for Chile andnotall earthquakes. So you will often see no data there.Sometimesthey report earthquakes that UChile does not. When theyboth reportearthquakes the magnitude is usually different, so youcan make acomparison.

Because we read the data from (EMSC) and not uChile you willseethat our calculation of the nearest cities will sometimesbedifferent from what is shown at http://www.sismologia.cl/

This is not an official app. We encourage you to check withONEMIis the event of any emergency.

While you are on this page we invite you to read ourmagazineSouthern Pacific Review featuringhttp://southernpacificreview.com/“Latin America’s Best Writing.” Wepublish in-depth reporting onnews and culture in Chile, airpollution in Chile, short stories,poems, and film reviews, mostlyin English.

Finally, take a look at my new book on Chile: "TheAvocadoRepublic of Chile, because it's too cold to grow Bananas."It isvery funny and required reading for any foreigner who wants tocomehere. http://goo.gl/elbsJP
