Date: May 526
Location: Antioch (Syria, Turkey regions)
Death Toll: 250,000
The Event: Not much is known about the Antioch earthquake beyond its staggering death toll of a quarter-million people. Historians estimate that the event occurred between May 20 and May 29 of 526. It remains one of the most brutal earthquakes in recorded history, despite coming in at VIII on the Mercalli scale, four notches below No. 5 on this list. The tremor reportedly set off a fire that caused widespread property damage to structures within the hold of the Byzantine Empire, a portion of the Roman Empire that at the time boasted a population in excess of 34 million. In just a few minutes nearly 1 percent of them were gone. By comparison, that would be like losing the entire city of Chicago, Illinois, in one fell swoop.

The largest earthquake ever recorded was a 9.5 in 1960 in Valdivia, Chile.
The Valdivia earthquake in Valdivia, Chile, which measured a 9.5 on the Richter scale
that would be the earthquake in Chile in 1960. rating 9.5 on the magnitude scale
killing 6000
This question is impossible to answer since dust in space (castoff of star matter) is coalescing together to violently form a planet. At what point do you call it a world and which particular shake that is constantly happening do you call the first earthquake? The matter where this stuff is has since been reformed numerous times throughout earth's history such that it could be spread everywhere.
We will never know when the first earthquake was.
Since the dawn of the earth earthquakes have shaped the earth. This is before recorded time or man.
About 1831 B.C.E in China
For a earthquake to happen first the plate from the ground starts to move up and down.
probably the New Madrid, MO earthquake of December 1811.
The word epicenter is typically heard after an earthquake has occurred. This word refers to the area of first impact by the earthquake, and is used to tell how big the earthquake was.
the first recorded earthquake in sri-lanka was in April 14th 1615 but i dont no if it was the first one ever recorded in history. (hope that helped)
3.5 minutes after the earthquake.
the first earthquake in oklahoma was in 1905, in oklahomacity. people don't know this, but that was the first earthquake in the United States.
the first place where the movement first occurs in an earthquake is the focus.
Obviously, the earthquake happens first and then tsunami follows.
The first earthquake in Australia happened hundreds of millions of years ago.
i depends where the earthquake is.
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
The earthquake was first and caused the tsunami, like when you throw a stone into a pond first and then the ripples go out.
The earthquake that occurred on September 4, 2010 ( the Christchurch Earthquake) was a 7.0
No they ARE caused by the recession of the first wave which IS caused by an earthquake.
AN EARTHquake first reaches a place that is focus strong earthquakes are in the epicentre but this is not the place from where earthquake originates i.e focus
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
The first earthquake that occurred in 2010 was in Haiti (PORT AU PRINCE) on January 12, 2010
