<P>Precise GPS measurements from before and after the earthquake, the fifth 

largest ever recorded by seismographs, show that the country's capital, 

Santiago, moved 11 inches west. Even Buenos Aires, nearly 800 miles from the 

epicenter, shifted an inch. The image above uses red arrows to represent the 

relative direction and magnitude of the ground movement in the vicinity of the 

quake.</P>
