Historic Earthquakes Magnitude: 9.2 What: Megathrust earthquake off the south-central coast of Alaska. Why: The second-largest earthquake ever recorded in the world, and the largest ever recorded in North America. Extensive liquefaction occurred and finally caught the attention of scientists. Shaking and underwater landslides produced many tsunamis.

Large Earthquakes Still Possible in the Central United States But New Madrid has experienced some big quakes in its history. Researchers have geologic evidence of several major earthquakes of around magnitude 7 and 8 striking the area over the past 4,500 years. More recently, the region experienced a series of strong quakes in 1811 and 1812. The first occurred in Arkansas on December 16, 1811, and scientists’ best estimate for its strength is that it was a magnitude-7.7 earthquake. Six hours later, the region shook again with a similar-sized aftershock.

For the largest earthquakes, this is a long distance; it is thought that the 1906 San Francisco earthquake triggered events in southern California, western Nevada, southern central Oregon, and western Arizona, all within 2 days of the mainshock.

Shaken more than 580 times, Okla. is top state for quakes in 2014 Oklahoma had a fivefold surge in earthquakes last year, making it by far the most seismically active state in the Lower 48. The Sooner State was shaken by 585 quakes of magnitude 3 and larger, compared with only 100 in 2013, according to an EnergyWire analysis of federal earthquake data. California, which is twice the size of Oklahoma, had fewer than one-third that number.
