A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.

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 ...
The San Andreas fault of movie fame couldn't produce a quake larger than about 8.3 given its length, according to the USGS. The largest earthquake in U.S. history was the 1964 Good Friday quake in ...
The following is a list of historical earthquakes with epicenters located within the boundaries of Oklahoma. Only earthquakes of greater than or equal to magnitude 4.5 are included. Information pertaining to time, magnitude, epicenter, and depth is retrieved from the United States Geological Survey or, when USGS information is unavailable, the ...
Earthquake locations are taken from the Centennial Catalog [1] and the updated Engdahl, van der Hilst and Buland earthquake catalog, [2] which is complete to December 2005. From January 2006, earthquake locations are from the United States Geological Survey's Preliminary Determination of Epicenters (PDE) [3] monthly listing.
