Major EarthQuakes
this earthquake, also known as the Valdivia Earthquake, holds the record as the strongest earthquake ever recorded. It occurred on May 22, 1960. The quake had a devastating impact on Chile. The tsunamis generated by the earthquake traveled across the Pacific Ocean, causing damage in Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, and even as far as the west coast of the United States.

the earthquake struck the coast of Northern California on April 18, 1906. It remains one of the most significant earthquakes in U.S. history. The quake, along with subsequent fires, destroyed much of San Francisco and resulted in over 3,000 deaths. The disaster led to significant changes in building codes and urban planning practices.

The Tohoku earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, struck off the coast of Honshu, Japan, on March 11, 2011. The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami. The disaster caused widespread devastation, including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, and resulted in over 15,000 deaths.
