Did You Know?
Concepción has been relocated or rebuilt after four major earthquakes and tsunamis since 1550. The 2010 quake, magnitude 8.8, moved the city about three metres west and shortened the Earth's day by roughly 1.26 microseconds.
The clock: Concepción keeps Chile's continental time, which is one of the few clocks in the world that a local earthquake has measurably affected.
