When and where did the only earthquake that has ever been predicted by foreshock occur?

The only earthquake that has ever been successfully predicted by foreshocks occurred on October 4, 1981, in the city of Haicheng, China. Scientists observed a series of foreshocks leading up to the main earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 7.3. This prediction allowed for the evacuation of residents, significantly reducing casualties. The event remains a significant case in the study of earthquake prediction.


What is the highest mark on the Richer scale?

There is no absolute top to the Richter scale, although the largest earthquake ever recorded by mankind was the Valdivia earthquake in Chile that was the equivalent of 9.5 on the Richter scale in 1960. While no earthquake any stronger has ever been recorded, the impact that caused the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan Peninsula about 65 million years ago has been calculated to have been the equivalent of about 13.0 on the Richter scale.
