The 1920 Haiyuan earthquake, also known as the 1920 Gansu earthquake, occurred on the Haiyuan Fault. This fault is located in the Gansu province of China and is a major active fault in the region.
Japan was the country that experienced a devastating earthquake in 1920, known as the Haiyuan earthquake, measuring 8.6 magnitude.
1920 cms converts to 62 feet 11.9 inches.

china
It happend on December 16, 1920
8.6 on Richter scale in Gansu, China.
Jan 23rd 1556. Province: Shaanxi Deaths: 830,000 Magnitude: 8 July 27th 1976. Province: Tangshan Deaths: 255,000 Magnitude: 7.5 December 16th 1920 Province: Haiyuan, Ningxia Deaths: 200,000 magnitude:7.8 May 12th 2008. Province: Eastern Sichuan Deaths: 87,587 Magnitude:7.9 September 27 1290 Province: Chihli Deaths:100,000 Magnitude: Unknown. I'm guessing that they didn't have that sort of technology back then. little is known about this earthquake.
The Number 1 Deadliest Earthquake in World History.) The Shaanxi Earthquake.You've gotten through all the boring stuff. Now comes the big one. This earthquake started in Shaanxi, China, and devestated an area over 520 miles! More than 20 meter deep crevices were made during this earthquake.More than 97 countries were shaken by this enourmous earthquake. A staggering 830,000 people died during this massive tremor. Over 60% of some country's population were killed. The cost of this earthquake cannot be written in todays terms, because it is so large. This earthquake was only an 8 on the Richter Scale, only 1 Gigaton.Number 2.) The Tangshan Earthquake.On July 28, 1976, the "Great" Tangshan Earthquake struck Tangshan, Hebei. This shock was believed to be the largest earthquake of the 20th century. The Chinese Government said that 655,000 people were killed, but latest research has believed that the toll was not as much, only 255,000, compared to the 655,000. The earthquake only lasted 10 seconds, but the magnetude made up for the short time. Seismographs recorded this earthquake as a 8.2 in some areas, a 2.2 Gigaton earthquake. The earthquake struck very early in the morning, when people were asleep. This left very little time to react to this earthquake. Tangshan was believed to be a region with very low risk of earthquakes, so the buildings were not to be made earthquake-proof. The earthquake was 4 miles long by 5 miles wide, leaving a massive area crumbled. The total damage was nearly 10 billion yuan, or $1.3 billion.Number 3.) the Haiyuan Earthquake.240,000 people were killed on the December 16, 1920 earthquake that hit Haiyuan County, Ningxia. The Richter Scale recorded this earthquake as a 7.8, 700 Megatons, but is still being discussed. Chinese Geologists believe that the earthquake could have been a 8.5, 5.6 Gigatons, instead of a 7.8. This earthquake was felt for over 125 miles and the aftershocks lasted over 3 years. It was also called the 1920 Gansu Earthquake because Ningxia was a part of Gansu when the earthquake occurred.
The Gansu Earthquake of 1920 had a magnitude of 8.6 and caused severe damage in the Gansu province of China. It resulted in approximately 200,000 to 240,000 fatalities, making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in history.
Over 25 million dollars :(
mag was 8.7 and death was 200 000

27/07/1976 Tangshan, China Official casualty figure is 255,000 deaths. Estimated death toll as high as 655,000. 799,000 injured and extensive damage in the Tang-Shan area. Damage extended as far as Beijing. This is probably the greatest death toll from an earthquake in the last four centuries, and the second greatest in recorded history.The sumatra earthquake it happend in,2004.source: my science teacher.
