The USGS provides a list of significant earthquakes for 2010 as well as a worldwide map of earthquakes for 2010 and previous years. See link below.
What scale helps you determine the magnitude of an earthquake?
There are two instruments, which are basically the same thing. There is the seismograph , and a more specific tool measures the waves on what is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes are given a number from one to ten, ten being the strongest. The strongest earthquake that their ever was, was measured a 9.3.

What are the units of magnitude used to measure the strength of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale, which assigns a magnitude value to indicate the strength of the earthquake. The units of magnitude used to measure earthquakes are logarithmic and are represented by whole numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, and so on.
