The epicenter of the earthquake was some 43 miles northwest of Temuco, and 370 miles south of the capital, Santiago. The quake struck at 5:20 p.m. on Jan. 2, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Despite causing panic along tsunami-prone coastal areas and slew of headlines, the quake is not expected to have an impact on international commerce.
