On 10 March 2015, it was announced that the confirmed casualties were 15,894 deaths, 6,152 injured, and 2,562 people missing. The tsunami also caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns (means a Major accident, highest level, see notes 2) at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex. Airports, roads and railroads destroyed, 127,290 buildings totally collapsed, 272,788 buildings half collapsed, and another 747,989 buildings partially damaged. It was one of the deadliest in human history, the waves traveled inland as far as 6 miles (10 km) and caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan. The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami with waves up to 40.5 meters (133 feet) high. On 11 March 2011 Friday, at 14:46 with the local time (05:46 UTC), a massive undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan occurred. Japan’s devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake in 2011 is continuing to cause problems, with seismologists calling the county’s most recent quake an ‘aftershock’. In Alaska, the Aleutian Islands and California, tsunami waves of up to 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) were observed. The waves traveled as far as Peru, Chile and New Zealand. It was also very damaging in the Hawaiian Islands, but there were no human deaths attributed to the tsunami. It produced a great destructive Pacific-wide tsunami with waves up to 15 meters (50 feet) which caused extensive damage to the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands, left an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people dead. On November 4, 1952, at 16:58 GMT (04:58 local time) a huge earthquake struck off the coast of Kamchatka Peninsula, in the far east of Russia. Kamchatka, Russia Earthquake (1952) – 9.0 1952 Kamchatka Tsunami The authorities announced the final death toll of 525 victims and 25 people missing in January 2011. The tsunami also damaged the port at Talcahuano.īuildings collapsed in many cities, including the capital, Santiago, causing many deaths. Several coastal towns in south-central Chile were devastated by the tsunami triggered by the earthquake. The intense shaking lasted for about three minutes. Maule(Chile) Earthquake (2010)– 8.8Ģ010 Maule Earthquake, also known as the 2010 Chile earthquake has occurred off the coast of central Chile on Saturday, 27 February at 03:34 local time (06:34 UTC) about 3 km (1.9 miles) off the coast of Pelluhue commune in the Maule Region, Chile. The earthquake triggered several aftershocks, and the effects were felt throughout the region. The Ecuador-Colombia earthquake was caused by the movement of the South American Plate as it collided with the Nazca Plate, which resulted in significant movement along the boundary between the two plates. The death toll from the earthquake is estimated to be around 1,000 people, with many more injured or displaced. The earthquake caused significant damage and destruction in the affected areas, with many buildings being destroyed and landslides blocking roads and transportation routes. The earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8, making it one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. The Ecuador-Colombia earthquake of 1906 was a powerful earthquake that occurred on January 31, 1906, along the border between Ecuador and Colombia. It also highlighted the importance of early warning systems and the need for preparedness measures in coastal areas vulnerable to tsunamis. The Rat Islands earthquake was significant because it demonstrated the potential for large earthquakes to occur in remote areas, where they may not be detected immediately.
However, due to the remote location of the epicenter and the low population density in the affected areas, the number of casualties was limited. The earthquake triggered a large tsunami that caused significant damage in several communities in Alaska, Hawaii, and California. The earthquake was caused by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate, which resulted in significant movement along the boundary between the two plates. The earthquake had a magnitude of 8.7, making it one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. The Rat Islands earthquake of 1965 was a powerful earthquake that occurred on February 4, 1965, in the Rat Islands region of Alaska. 8. Rat Islands Earthquake(1965) – 8.7 1965 Rat Islands earthquake is located in Alaska The earthquake also created around 5,000,000 homeless.
