The 2021 Haiti earthquake was the largest to strike the country since the 1842 Cap-Haïtien earthquake. More than 138,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed, most of them in Les Cayes and Nippes. 2,248 people were killed, 12,763 others were injured and 329 people remained missing. It is the deadliest earthquake of 2021. [338] 2,248 12,763 16 [339]
The 2021 South Sandwich Islands earthquakes were a pair of powerful earthquakes, followed by many strong aftershocks which struck along the South Sandwich Trench in August 2021. The quakes measured 7.5 and 8.1 on the moment magnitude scale , according to the United States Geological Survey .

The state typically experiences between 10 and 20 earthquakes above magnitude 2.0 each year, said Andy Newman, a professor of geophysics at Georgia Tech. As for what’s behind the recent shakes ...
1088 Tmogvi earthquake: Tmogvi: April 16 or 22 6.5 M s: Many M w = moment magnitude scale, M b = body wave magnitude, and M s = surface-wave magnitude. The inclusion criteria for adding events are based on WikiProject Earthquakes' notability guideline that was developed for stand alone articles. The principles described are also applicable to ...
The attack on Gakharia, who served as Georgia's prime minister from 2019 until 2021, follows on the heels of other assaults on opposition figures and well-known journalists in recent months.
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.
The following is a list of significant earthquakes from 2021–2030, listing earthquakes of magnitude 7 and above, or which caused human fatalities. Deaths due to earthquake-caused tsunamis are included.
