1. 1960 Valdivia Earthquake (Chile):
Magnitude: 9.5
Date: May 22, 1960
Location: Off the coast of southern Chile, near Valdivia
Impact: The most powerful earthquake ever recorded. It caused widespread destruction in Chile, including tsunamis that devastated coastal areas. Tsunamis also traveled across the Pacific Ocean, causing damage and fatalities in Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines. The earthquake triggered landslides, volcanic eruptions, and significant changes in local geography.
2. 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake (USA):
Magnitude: 9.2
Date: March 27, 1964
Location: Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA
Impact: The most powerful earthquake in U.S. history. It caused severe damage in Anchorage and other Alaskan communities due to ground shaking, landslides, and tsunamis. The tsunamis affected the Alaskan coast and also caused damage along the west coast of North America, including California and Oregon.
3. 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake (Indonesia):
Magnitude: 9.1
Date: December 26, 2004
Location: Off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia
Impact: This megathrust earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that devastated coastal areas across the Indian Ocean. The tsunami caused widespread destruction and loss of life in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, and other countries. It is one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.
4. 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake (Japan):
Magnitude: 9.1
Date: March 11, 2011
Location: Off the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan
Impact: This powerful earthquake generated a large tsunami that caused extensive damage along the Japanese coast. The tsunami inundated coastal cities, leading to widespread destruction of infrastructure and a significant number of fatalities. The earthquake also caused a major nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
1952 Kamchatka Earthquake (Russia):
Magnitude: 9.0
Date: November 4, 1952
Location: Off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia
Impact: This massive earthquake generated a large tsunami that caused significant damage in the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands. The tsunami also traveled across the Pacific Ocean, causing damage in Hawaii. Due to the remote location, the death toll was relatively low compared to other earthquakes of similar magnitude.
