The Number 1 Deadliest Earthquake in World History.) The Shaanxi Earthquake.You've gotten through all the boring stuff. Now comes the big one. This earthquake started in Shaanxi, China, and devestated an area over 520 miles! More than 20 meter deep crevices were made during this earthquake.More than 97 countries were shaken by this enourmous earthquake. A staggering 830,000 people died during this massive tremor. Over 60% of some country's population were killed. The cost of this earthquake cannot be written in todays terms, because it is so large. This earthquake was only an 8 on the Richter Scale, only 1 Gigaton.Number 2.) The Tangshan Earthquake.On July 28, 1976, the "Great" Tangshan Earthquake struck Tangshan, Hebei. This shock was believed to be the largest earthquake of the 20th century. The Chinese Government said that 655,000 people were killed, but latest research has believed that the toll was not as much, only 255,000, compared to the 655,000. The earthquake only lasted 10 seconds, but the magnetude made up for the short time. Seismographs recorded this earthquake as a 8.2 in some areas, a 2.2 Gigaton earthquake. The earthquake struck very early in the morning, when people were asleep. This left very little time to react to this earthquake. Tangshan was believed to be a region with very low risk of earthquakes, so the buildings were not to be made earthquake-proof. The earthquake was 4 miles long by 5 miles wide, leaving a massive area crumbled. The total damage was nearly 10 billion yuan, or $1.3 billion.Number 3.) the Haiyuan Earthquake.240,000 people were killed on the December 16, 1920 earthquake that hit Haiyuan County, Ningxia. The Richter Scale recorded this earthquake as a 7.8, 700 Megatons, but is still being discussed. Chinese Geologists believe that the earthquake could have been a 8.5, 5.6 Gigatons, instead of a 7.8. This earthquake was felt for over 125 miles and the aftershocks lasted over 3 years. It was also called the 1920 Gansu Earthquake because Ningxia was a part of Gansu when the earthquake occurred.
The 2005 earthquake in Kashmir caused an estimated $6 billion in damages. The cost to rebuild the region was extensive and involved significant international aid and assistance.
In 1960 chile , they had a 9.5 magnitude. Every damage cost 500 million dollars because the earthquake was so bad. It had cost half a billion dollars and thats a lot of money for a country like that to pay so much. That was the hugest earthquake in the world.
There was $500 million damage to the south of Chile (1960 dollars) , $50 million damage to Japan, $75 million damage to Hawaii and $500,000 damage to the west coast of USA. The total amount of damage losses were estimated at half a billion 1960 dollars
The exact cost of repairing the damages from Ecuador's earthquake in 1906 is not clear, but it was estimated to have caused significant economic losses and destroyed many buildings and infrastructure. The earthquake had a devastating impact on the country's economy and resulted in significant reconstruction efforts.
The cost of repairing the damage from the Aleppo earthquake in 1138 is not precisely documented, but estimates suggest it required significant resources and labor. The earthquake devastated much of the city, leading to widespread destruction of buildings and infrastructure. Historical accounts indicate that the reconstruction efforts took several years and involved considerable financial investment, but exact figures remain unclear due to the lack of detailed records from that period.
That will vary, depending on the strength of the earthquake, and in general, what exactly gets damaged.
$100 billion
100,000,000
it all dipends how bad it is
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in California caused an estimated $6 billion in damages.
The cost to fix the damage from Haiti's earthquake in 2010 was estimated to be around $7.8 billion.
