In early 2010, two major earthquakes destroyed cities and devastated the people living in nearby regions. Haiti experienced a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on January 12, destroying much of the area near the capital of Port-au-Prince. On February 27, Chile encountered a 8.8 magnitude earthquake north of Concepcion.
