| My goal here was to list the countries that have suffered an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or greater over the past century and provide information about these earthquakes. Very often, a country's most powerful earthquake was not its most destructive, fatal, or famous, so I've made an effort to include info on other earthquakes in the "notes" section, where neglecting to mention them in a list of major twentieth-centry earthquakes would be a major omission. Please let me know if you think there are more earthquakes I should include--within reason, of course! Finally, Wikipedia has some conflicting info on earthquakes. I've stuck strictly to the magnitudes given on the page I linked to; I'm not an expert so I figured I'd choose one page and stick with it. Any suggestions/advice more than welcome. |
