List of historical earthquakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Historical earthquakes)

This article is about historical earthquakes (before 1901). For 1901–2000 earthquakes, see Lists of 20th-century earthquakes. For earthquakes after 2000, see Lists of 21st-century earthquakes.

Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes known to have occurred prior to the early 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings — later followed by seismotomography imaging technique,[1] observations using space satellites from outer space,[2] artificial intelligence (AI)-based early earthquake warnings[3] — they rely mainly on the analysis of written sources, observations of shaking objects and/or animal behavior during earthquakes,[4] religious/traditional beliefs about earthquakes (e.g. "God's punishment", "God's rage", "Earth never quiet", "Earth's rage" or "Mother Nature's rage").[5] There is often significant uncertainty and hypothesis in locations and magnitudes — sometimes dates for each earthquakes. The number of fatalities is also often highly uncertain and hypothetical, particularly for the older events.
