The largest earthquake ever recorded struck the coast of southern Chile on May 22, 1960. It was a monster, registering a whopping 9.5 on the moment magnitude scale (Mw). This earthquake, also known as the Great Chilean Earthquake, was incredibly powerful and destructive.
While earthquakes are measured by magnitude, the level of destruction depends on various factors like depth, location, and population density. This earthquake did cause a tsunami that impacted not just Chile but also Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines. Thousands of lives were tragically lost.
