Some scientists say that this may affect the rotation of the planet, by affecting a day's length.Even though this earthquake killed millions of Chileans scientists think they will get many valuable information.

Commentary

We think that this earthquake affected a lot the life style of Chileans because they don't have the same life as before because every thing was destroyed. We think people and countries should be considerate and donate money and food to help Chile move on.
