2018 술라웨시 지진: 팔루의 주향이동 쓰나미와 파국적 액상화
The earthquake that defied three textbook rules: strike-slip faults generated a destructive tsunami, the rupture propagated at supershear speed, and liquefaction flows traveled 700 meters on nearly flat ground.
2017 멕시코시티 지진: 1985 재해 기념일에 발생한 M7.1

2010 아이티 지진: 규모 7.0 지진이 어떻게 316,000명을 죽였는가

2005 카슈미르 지진: 히말라야 국경에서 87,000명 사망
The deadliest Himalayan earthquake in modern history, which killed 17,000 students in collapsed schools and demonstrated the extreme difficulty of disaster response in remote mountainous terrain.
2004 인도양 쓰나미: 21세기 가장 치명적인 지진 재해
The deadliest tsunami in modern history, killing 227,898 people across 14 countries, whose aftermath created the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System and transformed global disaster preparedness.
1999 지지 지진: 역사상 가장 잘 기록된 근단층 지진
The best-instrumentally-recorded large earthquake in history, with 441 strong-motion stations capturing near-fault data that fundamentally changed how engineers design buildings close to active faults.
1999 이즈미트 지진: 터키의 산업 중심지에서의 북아나톨리아 단층 파열
The latest in a remarkable 60-year westward migration of M7+ earthquakes along the North Anatolian Fault, with stress calculations now pointing directly at Istanbul for the next major rupture.
1995 고베 지진: 일본의 건축 규칙을 변환시킨 재해
The earthquake that exposed fatal weaknesses in Japan's pre-1981 building stock, leading to the most sweeping seismic engineering reforms in history and proving that building codes save lives.
1994 노스리지 지진: 미국 역사상 가장 비싼 지진
America's most expensive earthquake, which revealed that thousands of modern welded steel moment-frame buildings had suffered hidden brittle fractures in their connections.
1989 로마 프리에타 지진: 캘리포니아를 깨운 월드시리즈 지진
America's first live-televised earthquake, broadcast to 62 million World Series viewers, whose Cypress Freeway collapse catalyzed California's seismic retrofit program for elevated highways.
1985 멕시코시티 지진: 거리를 무시한 공명 재해
The definitive case study in site amplification and structural resonance, where lake-bed sediments selectively amplified 2-second seismic waves that destroyed mid-rise buildings 350 km from the epicenter.
1976 당산 지진: 20세기 가장 치명적인 지진
The deadliest earthquake of the 20th century, which destroyed 93% of an industrial city in seconds and exposed the limitations of earthquake prediction despite China's success at Haicheng one year earlier.
1970 앙카시 지진: 남미 역사상 가장 치명적인 지진
The deadliest earthquake in South American history, where a 50-million-cubic-meter avalanche from Mount Huascaran traveled at 300 km/h to bury the town of Yungay, killing 92% of its population.
1964 대알래스카 지진: 기록된 두 번째로 큰 지진(M9.2)
The second-largest earthquake ever recorded and the event whose geological investigation by George Plafker provided critical field evidence for the then-controversial theory of plate tectonics.
1960 발디비아 지진: 기록된 가장 강력한 지진(M9.5)
The most powerful earthquake ever instrumentally recorded, releasing energy equivalent to 25% of all global seismic energy over a century and generating a tsunami that crossed the entire Pacific Ocean.
1950 아삼-티베트 지진: 기록된 가장 큰 대륙 지진(M8.6)
The largest earthquake ever recorded in a purely continental setting, demonstrating that the Himalayan collision zone can produce M8.6+ earthquakes far from any ocean.
1948 아슈하바트 지진: 수십 년 동안 숨겨진 소비에트 재해

1923 관동 대지진: 불이 도쿄를 파괴했을 때
The earthquake that proved fire -- not shaking -- is the primary killer in dense urban areas, with 38,000 people perishing in a single fire tornado.
1906 에콰도르-콜롬비아 지진: 북안데스 위험을 정의한 M8.8 메가스러스트
The earthquake that established the segmented rupture model for subduction zones, as its 500 km rupture was partially re-ruptured in three subsequent earthquakes -- a textbook case of megathrust supercycles.
1906 샌프란시스코 지진: 현대 지진학을 창시한 재해
The earthquake that founded modern seismology -- H.F. Reid's analysis of the 1906 rupture produced the elastic rebound theory, the fundamental explanation of why earthquakes occur.
1868 아리카 지진: 태평양을 건넌 쓰나미를 일으킨 M9.0 메가스러스트
One of the most powerful earthquakes before the instrumental era, whose Pacific-wide tsunami carried warships half a kilometer inland and provided crucial calibration data for modern megathrust hazard models.
1755 리스본 지진: 계몽주의를 흔든 재해
The earthquake that launched both seismology as a science and modern emergency management, while simultaneously triggering a philosophical revolution.
1556 산시 지진: 인류 역사상 가장 치명적인 지진(830,000명 사망)
The deadliest earthquake in human history, killing 830,000 people -- primarily because the population lived in cave dwellings carved into loess cliffs that collapsed en masse during the shaking.
