Yes because some have happened in the uk (very small ones) and you can only just feel them. My friends felt one and I didn't feel it. It was only a small vibration.

Is a magnitude 10.5 earthquake possible?
Yes, though it is unlikely to occur with any geologic forces that occur within the Earth. The moment magnitude scale is open-ended, with magnitudes calculated from the amount of energy released by an earthquake. The asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago is believed to have triggered and earthquake with a magnitude of about 13.0, many times stronger than anything Earth could produce on its own.
