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.

Earthquakes — particularly strong ones — are much more likely in places like California, which sit along major plate boundaries. Still, small earthquakes are fairly common in Georgia, experts ...
This category includes articles about individual earthquakes, listed by the continent in which the epicenter occurred. This is a container category . Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories .
Hundreds of earthquakes have hit New York prior to Friday, but most are weak and pass without notice. Here's where the most powerful ones hit.
In most cases, aftershocks are smaller and fade over time, but there is a 1 in 20 chance that, in the next week, there will be another earthquake of magnitude 4.7 or larger.
