THE PLACE OF DREAM
- IQUIQUE NIGHT SITE
A small town in the South Pacific , became the star of world news, its name comes from the Aboriginal word , "Place of dreams " or " Relaxation " , in clear opposition to what was lost in those three horrible earthquake minutes . On April 2014 , off the coast of Iquique ( Chile) , there was a significant earthquake of magnitude 8.2 on Richter, 20 km. depth. It was felt in Chile, Bolivia and Peru , there was a possible tsunami warning. (LV)

This earthquake is caused due to the interaction between the giant tectonic masses called Nazca and South American plate , which imperceptibly remain in an eternal dance in a titanic struggle . The Nazca plate is going beneath the South American one and this lustful symbiosis, gives origin to the vast and beautiful American continent.
The orography of our continent has been sculpted through this cyclopean pugilism , is important to remember that Nazca moves with a lightness of 6.5 mm / year, precisely against his antagonist , the South American plate does the same in the opposite direction with a lightness of 7.5 mm / year.

There are so many problems we are facing in South America, that almost goes unnoticed that we are witness of the most historic and prehistoric colossal fighting, bringing to a contemporary language, we would make the comparisson with being in the front row, of a confrontation between Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali.
We, Southamericans, have seen and experienced the largest earthquakes in the world ; as the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in the area of Maule in Chile, in 2010: or the 9.5 magnitude earthquake in 1960 , in Chile, or the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in 1906 off the coast of Esmeraldas , Ecuador .

- THEATER iQUIQUE
The earthquake in Iquique had interesting features , many peolpe try, by all means, to predict the occurrence of an earthquake, every time the earth moves, the worries begins , some people think that many tremors could be a warning of a larger earthquake. In the case of Iquique, it was like this, the so called premonitor tremors .
In mid March , most of South America began shaking , and during two weeks, it was heard about earthquakes in Chile, Ecuador , Peru and Venezuela and the doubts began. Some tremors are premonitory of a largest movement, according to certain scientific theories ,but it is not always like this.

I have fought strongly against the term "seismic swarm" because it doesn't describe the mechanism of the fault rupture. To determine that we are facing a premonitory earthquake, there must be a coordinated and related hypocenters, the analysis should conclude that there is a spatial and temporary correlation. If this corelation exists , we can infere that the tremors could be premonitors .
On April 16, there was an earthquake of Mag. 6.7, escorted by 60 earthquakes greater than Mag. 4 and 25 earthquakes grater than Mag 5 . Then, on 17th , then 22nd , then 23rd, there were earthquakes higher than Mag 6.2, each of these days. According to the information provided by the USGS, the hypocenters migrated to the north, and coincidentally the strongest earthquake of April 1st, was the northernmost too . After the big earthquake, the region continues moving, there was a Mag 7.6 earthquake on the 3rd of April.
The Iquique earthquake leaves us lessons, for example, how premonitory earthquakes shows a gradual increament of energy released, up to the peak, when the biggest movement breaks .
Iki iki is the origin of the name of the city of 170,000 inhabitants, in Tarapaca region which has 2.5 square Kilometers of an industrial park called ZOFRI due to the free zone of Iquique.

The Nazca Plate, in Iquique, makes an unusual nook, destroying the logic of the wises which want all to elucidate, turns the corner enigmatically and the entire region shows the greatest difference of heights between the two tectonic plates, which suggests to me strongly that there is great accumulation of folds and seismic energy contained in the site. Simple minds are doomed unintelligibility against divine portents.
