Largest earthquakes by magnitude

Listed below are all known earthquakes with an estimated magnitude of 8.5 or above on the moment magnitude scale (which has replaced the Richter magnitude scale in modern seismology).

This list is biased towards recent years due to development and widespread deployment of seismometers. Also, records that were detailed enough to make magnitude estimates (est.) were not generally available before 1900.

Largest earthquakes by country

• 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 (M_w).

Costliest earthquakes

This is a list or 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.
