The earliest known earthquake was recorded in 776 BCE in ancient Greece, specifically in the city of Olympia. This event was documented by the Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus. However, it is important to note that while this is the earliest written account, earthquakes themselves have occurred for millions of years prior to this recording. Archaeological evidence suggests that significant seismic events likely affected ancient civilizations long before they were documented.
Scientists have not given earthquakes names as yet but the first recorded instance of someone using an earthquake intensity recording device was by a scientist by the name of Schiantarelli, who in 1783 recorded the intensity of an earthquake that happened in Calabrian, Italy.
The earliest recorded earthquake occurred in 1177 BCE in the ancient Near East, specifically in the region of modern-day Syria. This event was documented by the historian Josephus, who mentioned it in relation to the destruction of cities. However, the first detailed accounts of earthquakes were compiled by the Greek philosopher Thales and later by Aristotle in the 4th century BCE. These early records laid the foundation for the study of seismic activity in history.
They never "started", earthquakes have been going on for as long as the earth has been around.
Earliest is an adjective.
The earliest tool for measuring earthquakes was invented by Chinese astronomer Zhang Heng in 132 AD. He created the world's first seismoscope, a device that could detect the direction of an earthquake and the magnitude of its tremors.
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
