2010 Salta earthquake


2010 Salta earthquake

The 2010 Salta earthquake occurred on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 15:43:36 UTC (12:45:36 local time) in Salta Province, Argentina and had magnitude of 6.3. It occurred less than 12 hours after the far larger 2010 Chile earthquake, which killed over 500 people. Initially thought to be an aftershock of the Chile earthquake, scientists later established that the earthquakes were unrelated.[2] It took place just to the north of the city of Salta. The quake killed two people,[3][4] and injured dozens (possibly up to 100 people).
