Avalanches can occur in any mountainous region where snow accumulates, but they are most common in countries with significant alpine environments. Notable countries include Switzerland, Austria, and France in the European Alps; the United States, particularly in the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada; Canada, especially in British Columbia and Alberta; and Nepal in the Himalayas. Other regions prone to avalanches include parts of Japan, India, and Chile.
The Scientific Revolution was a momentous change in the course of humanity. This is a time when new ideas of physics, anatomy, biology, astronomy, astrology, and chemistry began to take hold and be taken seriously. The Scientific Revolution began around 1543 and carried on up until the mid to late 17th century.

Chile 1960, Magnitude 9.5
Earthquake
The 7.1 magnitude Olympia earthquake in 1949 is the largest earthquake to occur in the Seattle region since records began.
The worlds largest recorded earthquake occurred in southern Chile in 1960. It had a 9.5 mangitude
No, they can't tell that it is a foreshock until a larger earthquake happens. (The largest main earthquake is called the mainshock)
I know the largest and strongest earthquake in the US as in Anchorage Alaska, not positive, I think it was just one. It was early 1900's or late 1800's and destroyed the city.
The deadliest earthquake in the 20th century was the 1931 China floods which were caused by the Yangtze River overflowing and subsequently triggering a series of deadly landslides and earthquakes. The disaster resulted in approximately 1-4 million deaths.
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
No. First, it is impossible to predict when an earthquake will occur. Second, none of the faults in southern California are capable of generating an earthquake anywhere near that intensity. Scientists estimate that the largest earthquake the San Andreas Fault can generate is in the neighborhood of an 8.3.
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur
