The first such earthquake occurred in Haiti on January 12, 2010. The 7.0 magnitude earthquake killed 3,16,000 people and changed the history and geography of this country forever.
The second earthquake occurred on 27 July 1976 in Tangshan, China. 2,42,769 people were affected by the earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5.
The third earthquake occurred on 26 December 2004 in Sumatra, Indonesia with a magnitude of 9.1 involving 2,27,898. It affected many countries and affected the life of the people here. The fourth such devastating earthquake occurred on 16 December 1920 in Taiyuan, China, with a magnitude of 7.8, killing 200,000 people.

In 1897 another earthquake in Shillong Kera had a magnitude of 8.7. Both these earthquakes were so strong that the rivers changed their course. Not only this, there was a change in the relationship of the land and the stones rose upwards.
In the year 1905, 20,000 people died in the Kangra earthquake in Himachal. Whereas the year 1993 Latur (Maharashtra) earthquake killed more than 9,000 people.
