Not that has ever been recorded by man. The largest recorded earthquake occurred off the west coast of Chile in 1960 and had a magnitude of 9.5.
It is thought that the impact that occurred 65.5 million years ago creating the Chixulub crater beneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico (and thought to have contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs) yielded energy equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 12.5.

∙ 13y agoNo, there has never been a 10.00 earthquake in recorded history. The largest earthquake ever recorded was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Valdivia, Chile. It was a 9.5 magnitude earthquake on May 22, 1960.
The largest United States earthquake was the 1964 Alaska earthquake in Prince William Sound on March 27, 1964. It was a 9.2 magnitude earthquake.
The March 11, 2011 earthquake in Sendai, Japan was Japan's largest earthquake in Japan's recorded history. It was registered as a 8.9 magnitude (reports range from 8.9 - 9.1) earthquake.

∙ 12y agoIn theory their is no upper limit on an earthquakes magnitude, so in future it is possible that a magnitude 9.9 earthquake could occur, however it would be the largest ever recorded by man.
Currently the record for largest magnitude earthquake goes to the magnitude 9.5 Valdivia earthquake that occurred in Chile in 1960.

the strongest earthquake was a 9.5 on the coast of Chile in 1960..
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoNo, the strongest earthquake ever recorded was in Chile in 1960 and it was a 9.5. It is unlikely for a 10.0 in the next 50 years, but it is expected that it will happen, before 2300.
