15-20K reported fatalities.

The worst to date in Japan was the 1-Sept-1923 earthquake in

Kanto (Kwanto) near Tokyo with an estimated142,800 deaths. This also triggered a largetsunami.

How many people die in California earthquakes?

The number of deaths from California earthquakes varies by event. Major earthquakes like the 1906 San Francisco earthquake resulted in thousands of deaths, while more recent earthquakes have caused fewer casualties due to improved building codes and early warning systems.


How many people die from earthquakes a year?

According to the US Geological Survey for the years from 2000 to 2010 there have been an average of 63,000 deaths per year due to earthquakes globally. This is based on the estimated number of earthquake deaths annually. The annual estimated figures can vary significantly from year to year depending on the occurrence and location of large earthquakes. For example in 2000 there were only 231 estimated earthquake deaths globally, whereas in 2004 there were 228,802 (which most likely corresponds to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake) and in 2010 there have been an estimated 226,215 (due in part to the very large number of deaths in the January 2010 Haitian earthquake). Please see the related links for the source of this data and for further information on some of the large earthquakes mentioned.


How many people have died from the earthquakes?

Excellent question! However, not enough information is available to provide a specific number of deaths from all earthquakes that occured everywhere in the world since the beginning of time. I did some lengthy research on this and I could only find statistics on a 'per earthquake' basis. It has data from the year 1900 forward. For earthquakes with at least 1,000 fatalities, check out: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/world_deaths.php For earthquakes with over 50,000 fatalities, check out: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/most_destructive.php The U.S. Geological Survey website has a wealth of information! I highly encourage you to check it out at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/10,000


How does the population of people get affected from earthquakes?

Earthquakes can lead to loss of life and injury due to building collapses, tsunamis, landslides, and other secondary effects. Displacement of populations, damage to infrastructure, disruption of essential services, and psychological trauma are also common impacts on communities affected by earthquakes. Recovery and rebuilding efforts may take years to restore normalcy to the affected population.


Do people get hurt by an earthquake?

Yes, people can get hurt by an earthquake. The shaking of the ground can cause buildings and structures to collapse or suffer significant damage, leading to injuries or fatalities. Additionally, falling debris, landslides, and tsunamis triggered by earthquakes can also cause harm to people.

What caused the earthquake and why was it so deadly in christchurch?

The 2011 Chrischurch earthquake was caused by movement of the Oceanic Plate and the Antarctic Plate. New Zealand is very prone to earthquakes because of its position on the edge of the two plates which makes it easy for this country to be a victim of such events. It was so deadly because it occured so close to New Zealands second biggest city. Many earthquakes happen where there are few people living there but earthquakes such as the one in Japan this year, and obviously the Christchurch earthquake are situated in the city where more people are living and therefore more people die. This is why it was so deadly. :)
