A megathrust earthquake measuring 8.0 Mw struck just offshore the Greater Valparaíso area of Central Chile on 3 March 1985. The event followed a ten-day period of moderate and non-destructive foreshocks and left at least 177 people dead and about 2,500 injured. According to several reports, a small sector of damage in Llolleo corresponded to a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent), though the vast majority of damage was considered to align with intensity VIII (Severe) effects or less. The damage was significant and widespread, and was similar to numerous previous events that had severely impacted the Valparaíso and Santiago metropolitan areas. Great earthquakes related to the subduction zone have occurred directly under populated areas or very close offshore since records began with the arrival of Europeans in the sixteenth century. Because of its heavy impact (financial losses of $1.5–1.8 billion) in the Valparaíso, Santiago, O'Higgins, and Maule Regions, the event has been thoroughly studied across various disciplines.
