The Valdivia earthquake of 1960 is the strongest earthquake ever recorded, with a magnitude of 9.5. It occurred in southern Chile on May 22, 1960, causing widespread destruction and triggering tsunamis that affected coastal areas as far away as Hawaii and Japan. The earthquake resulted in thousands of fatalities and left a lasting impact on the region.
The 1958 earthquake in Alaska, specifically the Great Alaska Earthquake, triggered a massive tsunami that reached heights of approximately 1,720 feet (524 meters) in Lituya Bay. This extraordinary wave remains the tallest tsunami ever recorded. The tsunami caused significant destruction in the bay, but its effects were more limited in terms of widespread coastal damage compared to other tsunamis.

The most destructive, though not the largest, tsunami ever recorded was the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami.The Sumatra-Andaman earthquake on 26 December 2004resulted in an earthquake with the magnitude of 9.3 occurring on the ocean floor near the west coast of Sumatra, perhaps the most devastating tsunami ever recorded, the height of the wave was only about 100 feet, far from the largest. Over 230,000 people were killed. The impact of this earthquake affected the time of the Earth's rotation time and It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.4 inches).
