The 2007 Peru earthquake was the deadliest with 595 fatalities. The September 2007 Sumatra earthquake was the largest in 2007 with an 8.4 on the moment magnitude scale. The 2007 Solomon Islands earthquake caused a significant tsunami that killed 52 people. There were four 8.0+ earthquakes in 2007 which is the most ever recorded for a single year.
The 2007 Nevelsk earthquake affected the island of Sakhalin in Russia and generated a tsunami along its coast. The M w 6.2 shock occurred at a depth of 10 km (6.2 mi), and had an epicenter located 20 km (12 mi) off the coast of Kholmsk at 13:37 local time on 2 August. It was caused by reverse faulting on a north–south striking and west ...
The 2007 Peru earthquake, which measured 8.0 on the moment magnitude scale, [4] hit the central coast of Peru on August 15 at 23:40:57 UTC (18:40:57 local time) and lasted two minutes. [4] [5] The epicenter was located 150 km (93 mi) south-southeast of Lima at a depth of 39 km (24 mi). [4] At least 595 people died and over 2,290 people were ...
The 2007 Solomon Islands earthquake took place on 2 April 2007, near the provincial capital of Gizo on Ghizo Island, in the Solomon Islands. Its magnitude was estimated at 8.1 on the M w scale, and 7.8 on the M s scale. The tsunami that followed the earthquake killed 52 people.
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.
