Chile, located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is prone to frequent earthquakes due to the movement of tectonic plates in the region. Large and small tremors are common, making the country one of the most seismically active areas in the world.

Experts advise residents in quake-prone areas to stay prepared by keeping emergency kits handy and knowing evacuation routes.
