Seismicity of the Chilean coast identifies and describes the seismic activity of an area of Chile. Seismicity refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. The Chilean coast is on the southern part of South America, which is near a Pacific Ocean subduction zone. Major earthquakes in Chile occur in a small number of source areas. Those that affect coastal regions are aligned offshore from Concepción to the south. The major epicenters produce a predictable pattern of seismic and tsunami effects.
