Earth Moved 3 Inches Off Its Axis After Chile Quake

One strange fact of the Chile earthquake 2010 is that it moved the earth 3 inches off its axis, shortening our day by milliseconds. The change won’t cause a change in weather patterns, but it’s frightening to reflect what nonstop earthquakes could do to the world as we know it.
Over a million people are said to be displaced by the quakes. This means that there are lots of shattered hopes and dreams. Some have lost all that they have. Looters, riots, and general chaos flourish as people don’t know what to do.
Initially, everyone thought that the Chile earthquake wasn’t as bad as the earthquake in Haiti. However, with the insured losses mounting and the general chaos – some think that the Chilean quake is actually a lot worse.
