The story began in Santiago, Chile, in 1647, along with the main character Jeroni Murgella, he is preparing for self-destruction when he is in prison. Jeronimo was the leader of the Don Astellon family until he discovered that Jeronimo was illegal with her brothers and daughter of Don Henrik Astellon, Joseph. Joseph was then sent immediately to Mount Vernon, but she was still able to maintain illegal relations with Jeronimo until Joseph was born on the cathedral stairway during Corpus Christi.

The Chile earthquake was caused by subduction. On the west coast of Chile, three structural plates of Antarctic Plate, South American Plate, Nazca Plate met. Chile is located at the convergence plate boundary (breaking plate boundary). The trench of Peru - Chile is caused by the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American continental plate. This movement caused earthquakes and volcanic activity in Chile, causing an amazing earthquake. This is a typical example of continental - submarine subduction zone.

Chile's seismic activity is related to the eastward subduction of the Nazca plate. Chile has remarkably maintained the 1960 Vardivia earthquake which is the largest earthquake record ever recorded. Villarrica is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile, on the banks of Villarrica and Villarrica. It is the most west point of three large layered volcanoes perpendicular to the Andean chain. A crater of 6 kilometers wide was formed in the latter half of Pleistocene before 60,000 years ago. The post ice crater of 2 km in width is currently active at the northwestern margin of the Pleistocene crater, mainly at the bottom of the basalt - Anshan cone. On the side of Villarica there are about 25 conical tips. During the Holocene, Prinny volcanic eruption and volcanic debris flow occurred from this main basalt volcano, but historic volcanic eruptions mainly contained mild to moderate explosions, occasionally lava penetration

Chile has experienced volcanic eruptions of 60 volcanic eruptions including Llaima volcano and Chaitén volcano. Recently, an earthquake of magnitude 8.8 occurred in Central Chile on February 27, 2010. Puyehue-CordónCaulle volcano erupted in 2011, the M 8.2 earthquake occurred in northern Chile on April 1, 2014. The main shock occurs before a number. Moderate to large-scale effects following the moderate to very large aftershocks, including 7.6 events on 2 April
