Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes known to have occurred prior to the early 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings — later followed by discoveries of Earth's tectonic plates, [1] seismotomography imaging technique, [2] observations using space satellites from outer space, [3] artificial intelligence (AI)-based ...
That envisions a magnitude 7.8 earthquake that could result in 1,800 deaths and nearly 50,000 injuries — the deadliest quake in modern Southern California history. More than 1,000 of those ...
