Lists of earthquakes

The following is a list of earthquake lists, and of top earthquakes by magnitude and fatalities.

Listed below are all known earthquakes measured or estimated to have a magnitude of 8.5 or above on the moment magnitude or Richter magnitude scale.

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.

This is a list or major earthquakes by the dollar value of property (public and private) losses directly attributable to the earthquake. 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.
