The Mediterranean Environment of Central Chile

2007
The Mediterranean-type environment of South America, broadly defined as the continental area characterized by winter rainfall and summer drought, is confined to a narrow band about 1,000 km long on the western side of the Andes in north-central Chile (Arroyo et al., 1995, 1999).

Gravity Variations in Central Chile

1993
Results corresponding to variations of the vertical component of gravity, associated with the March 3, 1985 earthquake are here reported. These processes frequently involve surface modifications near the rupture zone, which can be detected by means of precise gravimetric measurements. In Central Chile, the area affected by the March 1985 earthquake was

Land Use Changes and Conflicts in Central Chile

1998
In mediterranean-climate regions (MCRs), historical and geographical as well as ecological approaches are needed to elucidate processes and patterns occurring at that rarely defined level of complexity called “landscape”. In the case of Chile, a glance at the past five centuries of history is particularly crucial to the understanding of the various ...

Seismic folding in coastal south central Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1994
The great (Mw = 9.3) Valdivia earthquake of May 21–22, 1960, was associated with ground deformation over a distance of over 800 km parallel to the Peru‐Chile trench. Downwarping by as much as 2.3 m affected a belt averaging a width of 100 km which was bordered by a major upwarped zone in the west, where uplift locally attained 5.7 m, and a minor ...

El Teniente porphyry coppermolybdenum deposit, Central Chile

2023
El Teniente occurs in the late Miocene-early Pliocene metallogenic belt of central Chile. It is the world's largest known copper resource, containing 94.4Mt of fine copper, and 2.5Mt of fine molybdenum. The ore deposits formed during the final stages of a period of compression and crustal thickening initiated approximately 15 m.y. ago due to subduction
