Largest earthquakes by magnitude

Listed below are all the 36 known earthquakes with an estimated magnitude of 8.5 or higher since the year 1500. Limited to a timeframe with enough data, this gives a rough estimate of its frequency per century. (The timeframe does not include outlying events like the earlier 1361 Sh?hei earthquake and 869 Sanriku earthquake, both estimated to have magnitude >= 8.5.)

Prior to the development and deployment of seismographs - starting around 1900 - magnitudes can only be estimated, based on historical reports of the extent and severity of damage.

Statistics are,

Note that historical records are known to be incomplete. Earthquakes that occurred in remote areas prior to the advent of modern instrumentation in the early to mid 1900's were not well-reported, and exact locations and magnitudes of such events are often unknown. Therefore, the apparent increase in large earthquake frequency over the last few centuries is unlikely to be real.

Largest earthquakes by country/territory

  • This list is a work in progress. Information is likely to be changed.
  • Please note, multiple countries could have the same earthquake listed, such as the 1906 Ecuador-Colombia earthquake being listed for both Ecuador and Colombia.
  • Unless otherwise noted, magnitudes are reported on the Moment magnitude scale (Mw).

Costliest earthquakes

This is a list of major earthquakes by the dollar value of property (public and private) losses directly attributable to the earthquake. Rank values are assigned based on inflation-adjusted comparison of property damage in US dollars. Wherever possible, indirect and socioeconomic losses are excluded. Please note that damage estimates for particular earthquakes may vary through time as more data becomes available.

Most studied earthquakes

The 50 most studied earthquakes according to the International Seismological Centre (ISC), based on a count of scientific papers (mostly in English) that discuss that earthquake; subsequent additions are not included in the counts. The "Event #" is linked to the ISC Event Bibliography for that event.

Transcribed from figure 2, "The most studied events", at the ISC's Overview of the ISC Event Bibliography.
