Okay, we now know about the biggest quake in the world, but what about the biggest quake to hit the United States? Well, it was a 9.2 rocker that hit Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 28, 1964. The destruction was massive, but, luckily, only 125 lives were lost as a result of the earthquake (15) and ensuing tsunami (110).
The strongest earthquake ever recorded is the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake that occurred in Chile. This had a magnitude of 9.5.
Although this is purely hypothesis based, the most powerful earthquake happened billions of years ago. When the meteor that killed the dinosaurs struck, it had the power to (eventually after some time) break apart Pangaea (all of the continents together) into multiple land masses. Like i said, i don't even know if this is right, because we don't even know if a meteor hit earth. but this is what i think.
