The list of earthquakes by year (1990-Present) or by country can be found at the USGS Earthquake Hazards website.

In 2001 there was one earthquake magnitude 8 or greater, which was in Peru (M 8.4).

The USGS provides a list of significant earthquakes for 2001 as well as a worldwide map of earthquakes for 2001 and previous years.

Do dams trigger earthquakes?

Dams trigger tiny earthquakes as the ground under the reservoir adapts to the great weight of water added to it. There is no indication that these are causes of large earthquakes. Massive dams like Hoover Dam or Grand Coulee would have triggered huge earthquakes if this was the case. The largest killer earthquakes generally occur in places with no large dams.


Do tsunami s have aftershocks?

No, tsunamis do not have aftershocks. Aftershocks are typically associated with earthquakes and are smaller earthquakes that follow the main event. Tsunamis are large ocean waves usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.


What type of plate boundary experiences the most earthquakes with large magnitudes?

Transform plate boundaries, where tectonic plates slide past one another, experience the most significant earthquakes with large magnitudes. The friction between the plates can cause stress to build up over time, leading to sudden releases of energy during earthquakes. Notable examples include the San Andreas Fault in California. While convergent boundaries also produce large earthquakes, transform boundaries are particularly known for their frequency and magnitude.

What is a large earthquake rated on the moment magnitude scale?

Earthquakes with a magnitude greater than or equal to 6 are termed strong earthquakes. 7 or larger are termed major earthquakes. Earthquakes greater than or equal to 8 are termed great earthquakes. The term "large" is not actually used.However based on the above it could be argued that any earthquake with a magnitude greater than 6 is a large earthquake.
