The 1868 Hawaiʻi earthquake was the largest recorded in the history of Hawaiʻi island, [3] with an estimated magnitude of 7.9 M fa [1] and a maximum Mercalli intensity of X (Extreme). The earthquake occurred at 4 p.m. local time on April 2, 1868, and caused a landslide and tsunami that led to 77 deaths.
On May 4, 2018, an earthquake with a magnitude of M w 6.9 [5] struck Hawaii island in the Hawaii archipelago at around 12:33 p.m. local time. [6] The earthquake's epicenter was near the south flank of Kīlauea, which has been the site of seismic and volcanic activity since late April of that year. [7]
Hawaii – Southern: 7.9: X: 31–77: Limited damage / homes destroyed / tsunami: 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.
The event generated a large tsunami that was as high as 47 feet (14 m) on Hawaii'i island and was detected in Alaska, California, Japan, Okinawa, Samoa, and on Johnston and Wake Islands. Significant changes to the shorelines along the southern coast of the Big Island with subsidence of 12 feet (3.7 m) was observed, causing some areas to be ...

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 ...
