yes in 1985 there was an earthquake in Tasmania and it was 4.8
Yes! several especially in the last five years!
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.
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.
Many bridges survive earthquakes. Most earthquakes are small or moderate and do very little damage.
Short term predictions of earthquake behaviour or even earthquake predictions in general have not occured yet. Many even question if earthquakes will ever be able to be predicted. Even the earthquakes that have supposedly been predicted correctly have controversy behind the method
No, the Haiti earthquake in 2010 was not the strongest earthquake ever recorded. The strongest earthquake ever recorded was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale.
no
As of now, there is no reported earthquake in Tasmania. If you're feeling seismic activity or have concerns, it's recommended to monitor official sources like the Tasmanian seismic monitoring network or local emergency services for updates.
No there has never been an earthquake with a magnitude of 10.0 that has ever been recorded. The largest recorded to date was the magnitude 9.5 earthquake that occurred in Valdivia Chile in 1960.
no
Yes, there has never been a 10.0 earthquake recorded in history. The highest recorded earthquake magnitude is 9.5.
The youngest child to have ever been born during an earthquake is any newborn who is born during an earthquake. It is unlikely that this should ever change as all babies who are born, whether during earthquakes or otherwise, are all newborns.
Yes, there have been earthquakes which have occurred in Mali.
No, there has never been a magnitude 10 earthquake recorded in history. The highest recorded earthquake magnitude is 9.5, which occurred in Chile in 1960.
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.
unless a big earthquake or big asteroid collision, no.
Yes! several especially in the last five years!
