The weakest earthquake ever recorded was in 1962 and it was approximately 0.001643 on the Richter scale.
Hope that answers your question

The weakest earthquake recorded is usually referred to as a microearthquake, which typically has a magnitude below 2.0 on the Richter scale. These earthquakes are often not felt by humans and are mainly detected by seismographs.
In Chile in 1960, a 9.5 on the Richter scale
The recent (February 2010) Chilean earthquake had a moment magnitude of 8.8. In the past, Chile suffered the worlds most powerful recorded earthquake which occurred on the 22nd of May, 1960 and had a magnitude of 9.5.
Technically, yes. EF0 is the weakest, EF1 the second weakest, and EF2 the third weakest. However, Some meterologists consider EF2 and stronger tornadoes as strong, as only about 10% of tornadoes are rated EF2 or higher.
It's challenging to quantify the weakest lightning bolt, as lightning bolts can vary greatly in intensity. However, a "stepped leader" is one of the initial stages of lightning formation and could be considered one of the weakest forms of lightning discharge.
Hard to answer because there are extremely small earthquakes going on everywhere around the world.

Easily the world's worst Earthquake.
I think it was New York but I am not totally 100% sure.
it might be 1 magnitude.

Well, the weakest earthquakes form at divergent boundaries, therefore, weaker earthquakes form where plates pull apart from each other
