The Black Death's first wave in Sweden killed 30-40% to two-thirds of the then Swedish population. [1] Famine: Sweden-wide: 100,000: 1770s: Famine due to crop failure. Pandemic: Sweden-wide: 37,573 (probably more) 1918–1920: In Sweden, 37,573 people died from the Spanish flu pandemic according to official statistics. [2] Pandemic: Sweden-wide ...
The 2008 Skåne County earthquake occurred at 06.20am CET (05.20 UTC) on 16 December and affected the southern part of Sweden and eastern parts of Denmark. The epicenter was 5 km southwest of Sjöbo and 60 km east of Malmö. The earthquake was considered "moderately strong" with a moment magnitude calculated at 4.2–4.3 M w .
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.

Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes known to have occurred prior to the early 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings — later followed by seismotomography imaging technique, [1] observations using space satellites from outer space, [2] artificial intelligence (AI)-based earthquake warning systems [3] — they rely mainly ...

The 1960 Valdivia earthquake was the largest event recorded by a seismograph. Chile was left with major destruction from the earthquake and a large tsunami which swept across the Pacific. 2.226 people were killed and 3,000 were injured. 58,622 homes were destroyed. Damage costs were $1 billion (1960 rate).
Earthquakes in 2008 resulted in about 88,011 fatalities. The 2008 Sichuan earthquake was the deadliest with 87,587 fatalities, and also the largest at 7.9 on the moment magnitude scale . Other significant earthquakes struck Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Russia, Japan, Colombia, and other parts of China.
