Earthquake magnitudes are typically whole numbers, measured on the Richter scale. A magnitude of 12.5 would be unprecedented and beyond the highest levels recorded by seismologists. The strongest recorded earthquake, the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, had a magnitude of 9.5.
What is the biggest earthquake recorded?

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.
Has there ever been a 10.0 earthquake?
No, 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.
What was the biggest earthquake ever recorded in new zealand?
