When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 8 km2 (3 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Apr 10, 2026 08:33 pm (Coyhaique)24 minutes ago4.9105 km0 km - This quake45 km SW of Cochrane, Capitan Prat, Region Aysen, ChileMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1.3 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 4 or higher: 0.05 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 18.9 years)Mag. 3 or higher: 0.2 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 4.9 years)Mag. 2 or higher: 1.29 quakes per yearThe area where this quake occurred has very few earthquakes and most of them are very small (below magnitude 3). Larger quakes with magnitudes above 3 might occur from time to time. However, It has had at least 3 quakes above magnitude 4 since 1970, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 15 to 20 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeStrongest in 66 yearsThe earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Chile in over 66 years.
