The 1907 Kingston earthquake which shook the capital of the island of Jamaica with a magnitude of 6.2 on the moment magnitude scale on Monday January 14, at about 3:30 p.m. local time (20:36 UTC), is described by the United States Geological Survey as one of the world's deadliest earthquakes recorded in history.

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 1907 Sumatra earthquake was a "tsunami earthquake" that produced low levels of shaking. [1] However, it generated an Indian Ocean wide tsunami that caused 2,188 deaths. 2,188: 14 [6] Jamaica, Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica: 6.5: 0.0: The 1907 Kingston earthquake left at least 1,000 people killed. Major property damage was caused.
Things got a little shaky in parts of Ohio this weekend, and the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed it was from an earthquake. A 2.6 magnitude earthquake hit the area outside Madison in Lake County ...
A small earthquake occurred in Brown County, Ohio, along the border with Kentucky, early Thursday. A 2.4 magnitude quake happened about 4 miles from Georgetown at a depth of 5 miles just after ...
Southern Ohio was in for a slight − and temporary − shake on Monday afternoon, when a 3.3 magnitude earthquake hit the area. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the seismic event occurred ...
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.
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.
