Wow. No sooner had I written about natural disasters yesterday, than I get up this morning to hear about a powerful earthquake in Chile.
One of the first season episodes of 'How the Earth was Made' is titled 'The Driest Place on Earth'. That location is the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It is fascinating to see how the Pacific plate colliding with the continent created this area. And absolutely nothing mankind can do to change what happens there.
