"Its looking like an area of instability has been created." Chile is on a major subduction zone. And it appears to be on the move. Literally. There was a post a couple of days ago about how Conception was shifted laterally by about 3 meters. That's what was shocking....how much movement Concepcion experienced during that quake. So, yeah. It wouldn't be a surprise if they get some more shocks. Especially clusters of them. As it turned out, they were not new quakes as reported but aftershocks on the same fault........which is a mite better. But still, like you say, the plate on which Chile sits does seem to be on the move and keeps bumping up against the Pacific plate. Not a good situation. Since I live on the rimm of fire, I would like to see things calm down.
