The M8.8 earthquake on February 27, 2010 registered by CONZ,
TIGO
(1) Earthquake began with shock towards the East originated by
Nazca plate, (2) the Nazca and South-American plate decouple and
release for decades accumulated energy by a 3 meter movement
towards the west (= neg. east)(3) rupture is propagating along the
Chilean coast and producing seismic waves of several decimeter
amplitude.
