Did you know?

This Earthquake was a convergence.

Ecuador is avobe the Destructive plate Boundary Nazca plate, that converges with the Sudamerican plate, causing massive earthquakes like this one.

Are Ecuador and Japan's earthquakes in 2016 connected?

A theory that says that both earthquakes are connected, has been going around.

Japan's earthquake happened on April 15, and just one day after (actually two days, because of difference in time), happened Ecuador's earthquake.

But, it is actually fake. The plates are not connected almost in any way, so it was just a big coincidence.
