Причината е в земетресението в Чили / Цунами лети към Хавай след труса в Чили , Опасност от цунами: къде и кога / и по-точно в това,че Чили е страната с най-големи залежи на медна руда в света.


Ето някой важни факти за страната като цяло:

Chile accounts for 30% of the world"s reserves. 
Its share of global production is even higher, at 35%. 
17% of the countrys" exports go to China. The US, France, and South Korea account for another 30%.
Copper accounts for 40% of the nation"s exports

Here are some facts on key mines in Chile"s south-central region:

Anglo-American"s Los Bronces and El Soldado mines are the closest
to the earthquake epicenter. Together they produce around 280,000 tonnes of
copper annually. The company is moving ahead with plans to expand its 238,400
tonnes of copper-per-year Los Bronces, one of the world"s biggest copper
mines.
 
Codelco"s El Teniente had an output of 404,000 tonnes in 2009. That
marked the end of four consecutive years of dwindling output as lower grades at
aging mines and labor strikes hit output.

Here is an overview of all major mines in Chile:

Какво се случва с петрола!

Ето информация от  PlattsOil:all refineries closed, takes 230k b/d off market. ENAP to import diesel to bolster supplies, gasoline supplies OK for now



Като цяло,все още има твърде много неизвестни.И не само в производството и добива,а и в транспортната инфраструктура!

това обяснява защо при четиристотин души ЕС изпраща помощ от 3,5 .10 6 Е като помощ за Чили за разлика отпомощта за Хаити - политика.
