==Strongest earthquakes by magnitude== {{Anchor|Strongest earthquakes by magnitude}} [[File:Graph of largest earthquakes 1906-2005.png|thumb|400px|A [[pie chart]] comparing the [[seismic moment]] release of the three strongest 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.]] [[File:USGS magnitude 8 earthquakes since 1900.svg|thumb|400px|Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
