It is almost impossible to know because there are earthquakes of different sizes all over the world. It is said that there are earthquakes happening every where every day. Most are so small they did not register on the Richter scale and many that do are so small they are not worth mentioning as no one notices or feels them. The only ones that get mentioned and recorded with geological survey centers are the ones that register or are significant enough to be felt or have an effect on anything.
The most famous Earthquake is the Haiti Earthquake. That would partly depend on where you lived. To people in Lisbon, the most famous earthquake would be that which destroyed that Portuguese city in the early 1700s.
A major earthquake that has happened in the past is often referred to as a seismic event or a historic earthquake. The specific location where the earthquake occurred is known as the earthquake's epicenter.
The strongest earthquake ever recorded occurred in Chile on May 22, 1960, with a magnitude of 9.5. Known as the Great Chilean Earthquake, it caused widespread devastation and triggered a massive tsunami that affected distant shores across the Pacific Ocean.
There are several earthquakes mentioned in the Bible, including the earthquake at Mount Sinai when God gave the Ten Commandments, the earthquake in the book of Revelation that happens before the end of the world, and the earthquake at the crucifixion of Jesus.
The largest earthquake recorded by seismometer occurred in Valdivia in Chile in 1960. It had a magnitude of 9.5. The deadliest earthquake was the Shaanxi earthquake which occurred on 23 January 1556 in China killing 830,000 people.

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.

A micro earthquake is a very low magnitude earthquake that is usually not felt by people. These earthquakes typically range from magnitude 2.0 to 2.9 on the Richter scale. They are often detected only by seismographs.
An aftershock is a small earthquake that follows the main earthquake, while a foreshock is a small earthquake that often precedes, leads to, a major earthquake.
A major earthquake that has happened in the past is often referred to as a seismic event or a historic earthquake. The specific location where the earthquake occurred is known as the earthquake's epicenter.
No. The earthquake that caused the Tsunami in Indonesia in 2004 was a bigger earthquake than the one that hit Japan.
An earthquake can often disrupt water mains or interfere with the water table.
half of the time
These smaller earthquakes are called aftershocks. Aftershocks can often be as strong as the earthquake its self and there can be many.
