Yes, that's right, from what I know, Chile also has earthquakes more frequently.
Having to live in places like this is quite complicated... I have no idea how much you pay for insurance there.
It took me a little time to understand why in the United States most houses are made with wood. Today I know that it is because of these natural events and wood is cheaper to rebuild the house.
And it's more expensive to rebuild... I can only imagine how much money the politicians would overinvoice and steal here.
Only here with the floods in Rio Grande do Sul after a while, we don't even talk about it anymore and the state is devastated... donations arrive, but people still have difficulty receiving them...
That sucks. Are they common in South America?
In some regions yes, but be aware that for some reason, Brazil is not a country that can have earthquakes, especially these serious ones.
Tectonic plates don't cross here, but in other countries in the south, they do.
I would imagine those on the West side of the continent like in the US.

I have no idea. There does not seem to be much protection against an Earthquake.
