The whips earthquakes in history, is a post that has unfortunately it up today, in which the earthquake lived in Japan on Friday March 11, is setting a world largely because they are shocking images of devastation and death that we watching, so make this list of the strongest earthquakes in history, to see that these facts are nothing exceptional, every certain period of time will shake, so we must be as well prepared as possible, in fact it is Japan and if at this stage is talk of more than 1,200 dead and 1,000 missing, it is because Japan is ready for it, even though they appear and are truly awful, truth, were it not for what this country is prepared for earthquakes no doubt the result would be even more catastrophic.
So the strongest earthquakes in history have been: 1 .-
Valdivia earthquake in Chile in 1960, reaching an intensity of 9.5 degrees. Caused 6,000 deaths.
2 .- The Alaska earthquake (1964), particularly in Prince William Sound that reached an intensity of 9.2 degrees. 30 dead.
3 .- The Sumatra earthquake, still all remember in December 2004 recorded an intensity of 9.2 degrees, and like that of Japan a couple of days, causing a massive tsunami. 230,000 dead.
4 .- This place is occupied by three earthquakes, which reached an intensity of 9 degrees, which are the earthquake in Kamchatka in Russia (1952), which caused no casualties. The earthquake in Arica in Chile (1868), which resulted 25,000 dead and the earthquake in Cascadia (1700), which was a region that existed between Canada and the United States.
5 .- Earthquake Sendai (Japan), occurred last Friday, which reached an intensity of 8.9 degrees and caused a huge tsunami. In these times are over 1,261 dead and 1,000 missing. The problem later was that the nuclear reactors of nuclear power plants were damaged. Japan ranks third in the country more nuclear reactors in the world. Hopefully
take a long time to produce yet another tragedy of these dimensions, or rather, hopefully never occur.
