the largest earthquake possibleis the larges earthquake possible
The largest earthquake fault is San Andreas fault.
The largest earthquake recorded by man was the magnitude 9.5 Valdivia earthquake in Chile which occurred on the 22nd of May, 1960.
No, the Sumatra earthquake of 2004, also known as the Indian Ocean earthquake, is not the second largest earthquake of all time. It was one of the deadliest in recorded history, with a magnitude of 9.1-9.3. The largest recorded earthquake is the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, with a magnitude of 9.4-9.6.
The largest earthquake ever recorded in the lower 48 states was the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.2.
Not that has ever been recorded by man. The largest recorded earthquake occurred off the west coast of Chile in 1960 and had a magnitude of 9.5. It is thought that the impact that occurred 65.5 million years ago creating the Chixulub crater beneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico (and thought to have contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs) yielded energy equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 12.5.
The largest earthquake fault is San Andreas fault.
Actually, the largest recorded earthquake goes to Chile in 1960 with a 9.5 magnitude earthquake.
The Great Chilean Earthquake
The largest earthquake in the world was the 1960 Voldivic earthquake. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. It rated 9.5 on the magnitude scale. It occurred in the afternoon.
The largest earth quake measured 9.5 in Chilli.
The largest earthquake recorded by man was the magnitude 9.5 Valdivia earthquake in Chile which occurred on the 22nd of May, 1960.
The largest modern earthquake happened on May 22, 1960 in Valdivia, Chile. it registered a 9.5.
The largest earthquakes ever was the Valdivia earthquake in Chile in 1960 with a magnitude of 9.5. The second largest was the Alaska earthquake in 1964 with a magnitude of 9.2.
9.5
Earthquake
I think the largest Earthquake since 1900 was in Chile (may, 1960) and it had a magnitude of 9.5
