For the Earthquake occurrence we chose the one that happened on May 22, 1960 at 7:11 in the evening. This earthquake is very large and is a 9.5 that struck 180 feet below the sea and 100 miles off the Chilean coast near Valdivia. During this earthquake waves weer 25 meters high. Also the tide was 10 feet in height after 22 hours of the earthquake. Earthquake warnings and evacuations were used to save the lives of many people.
For the volcano occurrence we chose Mt Hudson and its a stratovolcano in southern Chile. It occurred August to October 1991. It had a volcanic explosivity index of 5. The volcano ejected 4.3 km ^3 of bulk volume. Also the volcano is covered by a glacier which caused it to melt and caused mudd flows. There was no deaths but people had to evacuate. Ash feel on Chile, Argentina, South Atlantic Ocean, and the Falkland Islands. There was a large amount of sulfur dioxide gas and aerosol ejected causing the ozone to depleat and the arctic ozone hole to grow to its largest levels ever recorded in 1992 and 1993. Down below is a picture of Mt Hudson.
