The highest magnitude level on the Richter scale is theoretically infinite, as the scale is logarithmic and can accommodate earthquakes of any size. However, the most powerful recorded earthquake was a magnitude 9.5, which struck Chile in 1960. In practical terms, earthquakes above magnitude 9.0 are extremely rare and demonstrate the immense energy released during such events.
