1756 Düren earthquake. On 18 February 1756, at about 8 am, one of the strongest earthquakes in Central Europe, the strongest reported in Germany to date, struck Düren. [2] [6] The hypocentre is judged to have been at 14–16 km. [7] It followed the 1755 Lisbon earthquake by several months and was the culmination of a series of quakes in ...
All magnitude 6.0+ events have been plotted on the map and included in the statistics. 22 [133] [134] Taiwan, Hualien County: 7.2: 25.0: VII 1951 East Rift Valley earthquakes. 22 [135] [136] [137] Taiwan, Hualien County: 7.0: 20.0: VII 1951 East Rift Valley earthquakes. This was the last of the magnitude 7.0+ events in the initial part of the ...
1952 Kern County earthquake. / 34.86; -119.10. The 1952 Kern County earthquake occurred on July 21 in the southern San Joaquin Valley and measured 7.3 on the moment magnitude scale. The main shock occurred at 4:52 am Pacific Daylight Time (11:52 UTC ), killed 12 people, injured hundreds more and caused an estimated $60 million in property damage.

The earthquake [61]) was a powerful magnitude 6.6 earthquake [62] [63] that occurred 10:13 a.m. local time (01:13 UTC) on July 16, 2007, in the northwest Niigata region of Japan. [62] Eleven deaths and at least 1,000 injuries have been reported, and 342 buildings were completely destroyed, mostly older wooden structures.
The deadliest earthquake in the series struck at 05:34 on 22 October 1951, with an epicentre at 23.9°N 121.7°E, a few kilometres southwest of Hualien City, with a magnitude of 7.3, and was felt throughout Taiwan as well as on Penghu and Kinmen (Quemoy). The second quake to cause significant casualties hit at 02:50 on November 25 of the same ...
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.
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] detections using space satellites from outer space, [2] use of artificial intelligence (AI) for early earthquake warnings [3] — they rely ...
