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 ...
1964 Alaska earthquake American Samoa: 8.3–8.5 June 26, 1917 1917 Samoa earthquake Arizona: 7.6 May 3, 1887 1887 Sonora earthquake Arkansas: 7.6–7.9 December 16, 1811 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes California: 7.9 January 9, 1857 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake Colorado: 6.6 November 8, 1882 [39] Connecticut: 4.4–5.0 M s: May 16, 1791 [40 ...
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.
942–1,900 1913 Eshan earthquake: China Earthquake December 21 1914 2,344 1914 Burdur earthquake: Turkey October 4 1915 29,978-32,610 1915 Avezzano earthquake: Italy January 13 1916 2,000–10,000 White Friday avalanches: Italy Avalanche December 13 1917 1,500 1917 Bali earthquake: Indonesia Earthquake January 21 1918 1,000 1918 Shantou ...
The list incorporates high-quality earthquake source (i.e., origin time, location and earthquake magnitude) and fatality information from several sources. 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
Since the three damaging earthquakes that occurred in the American Midwest and the United States East Coast (1755 Cape Ann, 1811–12 New Madrid, 1886 Charleston) were well known, it became apparent to settlers that the earthquake hazard was different in California.
Original plaque and memorial for the 1872 earthquake More recent memorial of the earthquake, installed March 26, 1988. Researchers later estimated that similar earthquakes occur on the Lone Pine fault every 3,000–4,000 years. However, the Lone Pine fault is only one of many faults on two parallel systems.
Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018. The apparent 3D volumes of the bubbles are linearly proportional to their respective fatalities. [1] This list of 20th-century earthquakes is a list of earthquakes of magnitude 6 and above that occurred in the 20th century. Sone smaller events which nevertheless had a significant ...
