2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami – magnitude 9.0 earthquake, 15,850–28,000 fatalities and 6,011 injured, one fatality and unknown number of injuries in the United States; 2012 Haida Gwaii earthquake – magnitude 7.8 earthquake with an epicenter on Moresby Island in British Columbia, the second largest Canadian earthquake ever recorded by ...
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 seismotomography imaging technique, [1] observations using space satellites from outer space, [2] artificial intelligence (AI)-based early earthquake warnings [3] — they rely mainly ...
The May 31, 1897 event was the strongest in Virginia's history. With a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII ( Severe ) this shock destroyed many chimneys and created ground effects over a large area. It had a magnitude of 5.6 M fa (a seismic scale that is based on an isoseismal map or the event's felt area) and had severe effects in Narrows ...
Note: The inclusion criteria for adding events are based on WikiProject Earthquakes' notability guideline that was developed for stand-alone articles. The principles described also apply to lists. In summary, only damaging, injurious, or deadly events should be recorded.
The strongest recorded earthquake in Oklahoma was a 5.8-magnitude quake near the town of Pawnee in 2016. Some reported feeling the quake as far away as Illinois and southern Texas.
The strongest and most destructive earthquake in state history was the 1931 Valentine earthquake, [3]: 20 which had an estimated magnitude of m b 5.6–6.4. [4]: 1171 The second strongest earthquake in Texas history also occurred in West Texas, registering as a magnitude 5.7 tremor near Alpine in 1995. [1]
Another series of earthquakes followed shortly after around the same area, a 3.3 magnitude earthquake about 8:40 a.m. MT and a 2.7 magnitude earthquake about 9:44 a.m. MT. LIST: Strongest ...
