The 365 Crete earthquake occurred at about sunrise on 21 July 365 in the Eastern Mediterranean, [4] [5] with an assumed epicentre near Crete. [6] Geologists today estimate the undersea earthquake to have been a moment magnitude 8.5 or higher. [ 5 ]
To the east of Crete along the Hellenic Arc, strike-slip tectonics with some extension become important. [1] The strongest earthquakes historically are those associated with the Hellenic Arc, although none larger than about 7.2 have been observed instrumentally. The events of AD 365 and 1303 are likely to have been much larger than this.
The ~M w 8.0–8.5 earthquake in Crete in 365 AD and 1303 are examples of subduction zone events. In 1810 and 1856, Crete was struck by large intermediate-depth intraplate earthquakes which were devastating and felt strongly in Africa and the Levant. The 1810 and 1856 earthquakes occurred within the subducting African plate rather than at the ...

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 ...
