¿Se viene un gran terremoto en el norte? Centro Sismológico Nacional analiza sismo en Calama

Why didn't the 6.9 magnitude earthquake in Calama cause major infrastructure damage? Marcelo Comparini and Ignacio Franzani speak with Felipe Leyton, head of innovation and technology transfer at the National Seismological Center (CSN), to analyze Chile's seismic reality and debunk urban myths about earthquakes. In this interview, the expert details the technical difference between the Richter and Mercalli scales, explains why smaller earthquakes don't "release energy" to prevent a larger event, and warns about the accumulation of energy in the northern region (Atacama), where a century has passed since the last major earthquake in 1922. He also addresses the controversial bureaucratic obstacle that has kept the Seismology Department's automated account on Twitter suspended. #ChileEarthquake #Seismology #Calama #Atacama #SeismologicalCenter #Correspondents #Radio13c #Earthquake #FelipeLeyton
