Top 10 Most Catastrophic Earthquakes And Tsunamis In Human History

[@jacob4448]

Great video! Though, I would argue that the 2023 earthquake in Turkey should replace the one in 1999. The more recent one resulted in 53000 dead, 100000 injured, over 1.5 million homeless, and an estimated 150 billion in damage. I would also say that the 526 Antioch earthquake, which killed possibly 300000 people, should have been on the list too

The video you linked is about the top 10 most catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis in human history. Here are some key points from the video: * Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. * The Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes. * The deadliest earthquake in history was the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China, which killed an estimated 700,000 people. * Other major earthquakes discussed in the video include the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the 1995 Kobe earthquake, and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. * Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes that occur underwater. * The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was the deadliest tsunami in history, killing an estimated 230,000 people. * Other major tsunamis discussed in the video include the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami and the 1883 Krakatoa eruption and tsunami. * The video emphasizes the importance of earthquake preparedness and the need for early warning systems.

earthquakes are caused by volcanoes and underground collapses. a tsunami can be caused either by underwater quakes, volcanic eruprions, lanslides and even meteor strikes.

Tsunamis aren’t just caused by earthquakes

[@g_rammstein]

you didn't mention the Alaskan earthquake in 1964 which was 9,2-9,3 R and lasted around 6 minutes, the Fukushima quake and the 2 huge quakes in New Madrid in 1811 and 1812.

Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey - Ankara is

too bad this isnt updated.....its phusically impossible for a chunk of CA to "plunge into the ocean" Its a Strike-slip fault, not subduction
