It is not known for certain where the smallest earthquake occurred, nor just how small it was. Tiny earthquakes happen throughout the world all of the time. Most places don't even attempt to measure these, and only in areas where larger earthquakes are a concern do they have equipment in place to measure seismic activity. Places that are seismically active, such as Southern California or virtually any volcanic area, see earthquakes measuring less than 1.0 on the Richter scale on a regular basis.
The smallest magnitude that could be felt by humans is at least a 5.5
According to the US Geological Survey this is approximately 3.0.
the smallest earthquake recorded on the Richter scale was 0.1you could have told me where it happend and when it happend
Japan had Tsunami and an Earthquake Kansas had an earthquake
The earthquake flattened the entire town.There was an earthquake yesterday.It is predicted that an earthquake along the San Andreas fault in the US would be the most devastating in history.
No. The earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 was a 7.0, which is a very large earthquake, though by no means the largest. The smallest earthquakes are too small to even be felt.
i think it was when the earthquake happened last year
everywhere....... its called a tremor
Santiago Janipsi.
the smallest earthquake recorded on the Richter scale was 0.1
0.1 on the Richter scale! :D
The smallest magnitude that could be felt by humans is at least a 5.5
One of the smallest earthquakes resulted from a grain of sand rolling off a pebble and striking the ground.
A seismograph measures the vibrations given off by an earthquake. Even the smallest earthquakes give off these vibrations.
According to the US Geological Survey this is approximately 3.0.
Yes. A magnitude 3 earthquake is also approximately the smallest earthquake than can actually be felt by humans.
Somewhere in the 3.0 to 4.0 magnitude range, depending on the geology and, of course, how close you are to the epicenter.
