It seems, Earth has been shaking itself relentlessly this year. Only 2 months after the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, Chile was struck by a seism of a magnitude as strong as 8.8. It was one of the most powerful ever recorded in this country. Those who survided the actual quake, had to face the killing tsunami. Overall death toll: up to 800. This happened at the beginning of March 2010. Just yesterday, 8 March 2010, another earthquake struck. It struck in eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people, according to officials. Its magnitude was 6.0. The region which is scarcely populated is, nonetheless, heavily affected since resources are limited. (Images by BBC Online News)
