The law of demand states that other factors being constant (cetris peribus), price and quantity demand of any good and service are inversely related to each other. When the price of a product increases, the demand for the same product will fall.
I believe since south America has so much of ancient lands it will get destroyed depends how strong the earthquake is plus since south america is located by the water, it could mean a huge tsunami hitting north america. It is possible that could happen.
Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
