1877 Iquique earthquake

Quiz 1 1877 Iquique earthquake

The 1877 Iquique earthquake occurred at 21:16 local time on 9 May (0:59 on 10 May UTC).
It had a magnitude of 8.5 on the surface wave magnitude scale. Other estimates of its
magnitude have been as high as 8.9 Mw and 9.0 Mt (based on the size of the tsunami). It had
a maximum intensity of XI (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale and triggered a
devastating tsunami. A total of 2,385 people died, mainly in Fiji.

== Historical context ==
Affected areas in what was then part of Bolivia, but is now the Antofagasta region of Chile,
had during this period been subject to the Atacama border dispute between the two
countries. Under the 1874 boundary treaty between Bolivia and Chile, the border between
the two nations as of 1877 followed the 24th parallel south. The terms of that treaty
required that Bolivia not levy taxes on Chilean companies mining nitrates between the 23rd
and 24th parallels (including the city of Antofagasta) for 25 years, except for agreed duties
to be shared between the two countries.Following extensive damage in the 1877
earthquake and tsunami, the municipal authorities in Antofagasta voted for a tax of 10
centavos per quintal (approximately 46 kg or 101 lb) of nitrates exported to fund
reconstruction of the town. The Chilean Antofagasta Nitrate & Railway Company, a major
nitrate mining company in the region, refused to pay, backed by the Chilean government.
This dispute resulted in the War of the Pacific, fought from 1879 to 1884, by which Chile
gained control of territory as far north as Tacna, including Bolivia's entire coastline.
