The largest earthquake (magnitude里氏9.5)of the 20th century happened on May 22,1960 0ff the coast of South Central Chile.

Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chiloe.The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe-the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中).Huge tsuna- mi waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within l0 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland.
There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile's top industrial city.Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed.

Total damage losses, including agriculture and industry, were estimated(估计) to be over a half billion dollars.
