Analysing the biggest earthquakes can be a dif cult task. Below is the list of 10 Strongest earthquakes measured or approximated to have a magnitude scale or Richter magnitude scale of 8.5 and above.

10. Assam-Tibet Earthquake- Magnitude 8.6, 15 Aug 1950

70 villages vanished in the sequence of mishaps produced by an earth tremble with an epicentre in Tibetan Rima but which wrought most devastation in India’s Assam condition.

6.Bio-Bio, Chile- Magnitude- 8.8, February 27, 2010

With extreme shaking lasting for about 3 minutes. It ranks as the sixth major earthquake ever to be recorded by a seismograph. It was felt highly in six Chilean regions. The quake caused a tsunami which ruined some coastal regions in south Chile and damaged the port at Talcahuano. It causes Casualties, 525 killed and 25 missing.

5.Kamchatka, Russia, Magnitude- 9.0, Nov. 4, 1952

The rst recorded magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit off the east coastline of Kamchatka in 1952. The quake produced a 43-foot tsunami locally. Initially assigned a magnitude of 8.2, the quake was revised to 9.0 Mw and a time of about 17 minutes, in later years. A large tsunami resulted, causing devastation and death of people around the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands. Hawaii was also smacked, with estimated damages around US$1 million and livestock losses, but no human deaths were found.

Happened just a few years in the past, this earthquake is said to be one of the most critical quakes of the record. Asia doesn’t have much area but is rich in information and technological innovation and this earthquake created Japan escape of many million brilliant minds. Despite struggling such an enormous reduction, the govt and individuals came together to reduce the impacts of this earthquake cum tsunami, and within little time bagged the headline of a superpower again!

3.Sumatra, Indonesia- Magnitude- 9.1, December 26, 2004

The quake was caused by subduction devastating tsunamis, most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in 14 countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters high. It was one of the deadliest tragedy in recorded history. Sumatra was the hardest shake country, followed by Thailand, Sri Lanka and India The tsunami affected more deaths than other in recorded history, although some estimates say the death from the 2010 Haiti earthquake was larger.

It has been one of the largest earthquakes in history due to its high magnitude. The aftermath of this earthquake involved 150 people losing their lives, and a damage of hundreds of millions of dollars worth.
