SANTIAGO (May 20): A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck off the coast
of Chile on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey said, but Chilean
emergency authorities said they saw no prospect that the tremor would
generate a tsunami.
The quake struck 400 miles (640 km) west of Puerto Aisen at a depth
of 6.2 miles, the USGS said.
It said the quake had occurred at 5:49 a.m. Chile time (0943 GMT)

conditions necessary to generate a tsunami. It added the quake was not
felt in the country.
The USGS pinpointed the quake in the Nazca tectonic plate area
