It was felt from Niigata, to Kumamoto, Kyushu. Surface faulting was seen on two nearly-parallel faults about 3 km apart southwest of Tottori. The longest one was about 8 km 5 mi long with both horizontal and vertical displacements.
Damage also occurred at Samsun. This area is immediately to the west of the rupture zone of the Erbaa earthquake. Damage also occurred in Mendoza Province.
This is the greatest number of casualties for any earthquake in the history of Argentina. Some estimates of the death toll are as high as 10, About 7 km 4 mi of surface faulting at La Laja, north of San Juan. The quake was felt strongly at Ankara. Surface faulting was observed from Bayramoren to Abant Lake with maximum horizontal offset of 3. This rupture zone is immediately to the west of the Ladik earthquake.
In total, about km mi of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, from Erzincan to Abant Lake, ruptured during a time interval of slightly more than 4 years. More than 73, houses were destroyed or heavily damaged by the earthquake and an additional 3, houses were washed away by the tsunami. The quake was felt from northern Honshu to Kyushu. Maximum wave heights of up to 8 m 26 ft were observed on the east coast of the Kii Peninsula, Honshu.
Surface faulting observed with up to 2 m 6 ft vertical displacement. A large tsunami was generated that caused damage at Karachi and damage and casualties in the Mumbai Bombay area, India. Four new islands appeared off the coast near Hinglaj.
The quake was felt as far away as Dera Ismail Khan and Sahiwal. Many landslides occurred: one buried the village of Acobamba and another dammed the Pelagatos River. The quake was felt from Guayaquil, Ecuador to Lima, Peru. Several segments of surface faulting were seen in a zone about 18 km 11 mi long from Quiches to Hacienda Mayas.
The faulting was purely dip-slip vertical with as much as 3. An additional 2, houses were washed away by a tsunami, which reached heights of m ft on the east coast of the Kii Peninsula, Honshu and on the east and south coasts of Shikoku. Landslides, ground fissures, uplift and subsidence were observed in the area. Damage was especially severe in areas of alluvium. Some ground fissures were observed in the area. More than aftershocks were felt in the month following the quake.
Some sources list the death toll as high as 5, Damage and casualties also occurred in the Darreh Gaz area, Iran. Surface rupture was observed both northwest and southeast of Ashgabat. Many sources list the casualty total at 10,, but a news release on 9 Dec advised that the correct death toll was , A huge slide, about 20 km 12 mi long and 1 km 0.
This and other slides in the Yasman River Valley also buried 20 villages. The death toll is estimated. Damage occurred in Tungurahua, Chimborazo and Cotopaxi Provinces.
Landslides blocked roads and streams in the area. Sandblows, ground cracks and large landslides occurred in the area. Severe damage X also occurred in the Sibsagar-Sadiya area of Assam, India and in the surrounding hills. About 70 villages were destroyed in the Abor Hills, mostly by landslides. Large landslides blocked the Subansiri River. This natural dam broke 8 days later, creating a wave 7 m 23 ft high which innundated several villages and killed people.
The quake was felt VI as far away as Calcutta. Seiches were observed in many lakes and fjords of Norway and in at least 3 reservoirs in England. Many sources call this the Assam-Tibet earthquake or even the Assam earthquake, even though nearly all place the epicenter in Tibet.
Thus it is possible that the casualties for Tibet are not included in the total, as well as those from the Subansiri River flood. Furthermore, Gu et al. Therefore, the actual casualty toll may be much higher than the value given. The subsequent mudflow destroyed the town of Potosi. A larger earthquake magnitude 6. Some sources list that as the event that triggered the mudflow. Felt throughout the Aegean Islands and in much of mainland Greece.
Also felt in Bulgaria. About 50 km 30 mi of surface faulting with as much as 4. Felt from Mostaganem east to Tizi Ouzou and south to Tiaret. Faults and fissures occurred in a km mi zone at the southern edge of the Dahra Massif. Undersea cables in the Mediterranean broke several hours after the earthquake.
There were many aftershocks - a strong one on Sep 16 at caused additional damage. See also the El Asnam earthquake of Oct Stoves and chimneys were broken in the nearest towns, and minor damage occurred at Bodaybo and Chita, the latter nearly km mi from the epicenter.
However, major geological effects were observed in a wide area. The Namarakit trough, an "embrionic" Baykal-type basin, subsided more than m ft on the south side, creating Lake Novyy Namarakit. The adjacent Udokan Range was uplifted Landslides occurred as far as km mi away. Temperatures, flow rates and water levels changed in springs and wells as far away as Chita. Many landslides and rockslides blocked the Amol-Tehran Road and caused nearly as much damage in some villages as had been caused by shaking.
It was felt strongly at Tehran. Some fissures were observed in alluvium along the Sahneh Fault. It is the most destructive "moderate" quake magnitude less than 6 in the 20th Century - the direct opposite of the magnitude 8.
All buildings in the Founti, Kasbah and Yachech sections of Agadir were destroyed or very severely damaged and more than 95 percent of the people in these areas were killed. Over 90 percent of buildings were destroyed or damaged in the Talbordjt district and more than 60 percent were damaged in New City and Front-de-Mer districts.
The exact casualty figure is unknown because once it was clear there could be no more survivors in the rubble, much of the area was bulldozed because of health and safety concerns. This moderate quake was so destructive because it was a shallow event right under the city. Also, few buildings had been built to seismic codes because people thought that the area did not have a serious earthquake risk. It had been forgotten that a previous town at this location, named Santa Cruz de Aguer, had been destroyed by an earthquake in Most of the casualties and much of the damage was because of large tsunamis which caused damage along the coast of Chile from Lebu to Puerto Aisen and in many areas of the Pacific Ocean.
Puerto Saavedra was completely destroyed by waves which reached heights of Wave heights of 8 m 26 ft caused much damage at Corral. Tsunamis caused 61 deaths and severe damage in Hawaii, mostly at Hilo, where the runup height reached Waves as high as 5.
Another 32 people were dead or missing in the Philippines after the tsunami hit those islands. One to 1. As much as 3 m 10 ft of uplift occurred on Isla Guafo. On May 24, Volcan Puyehue erupted, sending ash and steam as high as 6, m.
The eruption continued for several weeks. This quake was preceded by 4 foreshocks bigger than magnitude 7. Many aftershocks occurred, with 5 of magnitude 7. This is the largest earthquake of the 20th Century. The rupture zone is estimated to be about km long, from Lebu to Puerto Aisen. Note that the tsunami deaths from outside Chile are included in the 1, total. This is still considerably fewer than some estimates which were as high as 5, However, Rothe and others state that the initial reports were greatly overestimated.
The death toll for this huge earthquake was less than it might have been because it occurred in the middle of the afternoon, many of the structures had been built to be earthquake-resistant and the series of strong foreshocks had made the population wary. Slight damage at Tehran. Felt as far away as Tabriz, Esfahan and Yazd. Based on damage to old structures, this was probably the largest earthquake in this immediate area since at least Surface faulting with small offsets occurred in a km mi east-west zone of the Ipak Fault.
Some landslides and sandblows occurred. Earthquake lights a red to orange glow from the Rudak area were observed prior to the quake by various people. The heaviest damage occurred to buildings on alluvium in the Vardar River Valley. There was little damage outside Skopje, indicating the quake was very shallow and located almost directly under the city. The Illyrian city of Scupi was destroyed by an earthquake in It was rebuilt nearby and briefly named Justiniana Prima, later Skopje. Called Uskub while part of the Ottoman Empire, it was destroyed again by an earthquake in The worst damage was in Julu County, where over , houses collapsed and another , were heavily damaged.
Some houses collapsed in Shanxi Shansi Province. Ground fissures and sandblows occurred along the banks of the Fuyang River. Except for reports that 4, families "suffered disaster" in Longyao County and that great numbers of medical personnel had been rushed to Xingtai Singtai to care for the victims, no casualty figures were released for this earthquake.
Based on the amount of damage and time of day it occurred, we assume that it killed at least 1, people, and very likely many more than that. At least 10, rooms collapsed and over 22, were heavily damaged in Shandong Shantung Province. Over 6, rooms and cave dwellings collapsed in Shanxi Shansi Province and some rooms collapsed in the Anyang area of Henan Honan Province.
Some damage occurred at Beijing Peking and Tianjin Tientsin. It was felt as far away as Hohhot and Nanjing. In the epicentral area, large fissures crisscrossed the ground and there were many sandblows. Embankments slumped into the Fuyang River. As with the Mar 07 quake, no no casualty figures were released, other than to say fewer people died than in the previous event.
We assume that at least 1, people were killed in this earthquake based on the severe and extensive damage, despite the fact that it occurred in the afternoon, when most people would have been awake and better able to protect themselves.
About 1, people were injured and , were left homeless by the quake. Landslides and surface faulting occurred in the area, which is near the junction of the North Anatolian and East Anatolian Fault zones.
A strong aftershock on Sep 01 destroyed the town of Ferdows see next event. In all, more than villages were destroyed or damaged in this rather sparsely populated area of Khorasan Province. Most buildings in the area were built of adobe with very thick m, or about ft arched roofs. The walls shattered, bringing tons of material down on the people inside.
This was a major reason for the severity of damage and casualties in this earthquake. The death toll would likely have been much higher if this quake would have struck in the middle of the night, when many more people would have been indoors.
The few steel-frame or brick-and-mortar structures in the area generally survived with only minor to moderate damage, making it difficult to assign a maximum intensity to the quake. Surface faulting occurred in a zone about 80 km 50 mi long. The maximum strike-slip horizontal offset was about 4.
Extensive ground ruptures and sandblows occurred in the Nimbluk Valley east of Salayan, south of the main fault trace. Slight damage occurred in Hong Kong. Fissures, landslides and sandblows were observed along the coast and along some rivers in the area.
The death toll is estimated from unconfirmed reports. However, this seems reasonable based on the number of houses collapsed in this generally non-seismic area and the time of day it occurred AM, local time. Residents in Hanoi, North Vietnam, about miiles from the epicenter, fled from their homes in terror as the temblor rumbled through that city.
That severe damage occurred in the Tonghai area may be inferred from the approximate number of casualties, which was announced in It caused about 50 km about 30 mi of surface faulting on the Tonghai Fault, with maximum horizontal offset of 2. Over 50 percent of the buildings were damaged in 53 villages in the area. A large amount of the damage was caused by landslides and fires triggered by the earthquake. Some damage occurred at Bursa and Yalova.
It was felt at Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir and as far east as Erzincan. It was also felt on Chios Khios and Lesvos, Greece. Strong aftershocks caused considerable additional damage. A total of 61 km 38 mi of predominantly normal vertical, extensional or "pull-apart" faulting was observed in several zones in the Gediz area with a maximum offset of cm 9 ft on the Ayikayasi Fault. A large part of the fault displacements may be due to creep after the earthquake, rather than from the quake itself.
Numerous landslides and changes in thermal springs occurred in the epicentral area. The city of Bingol was nearly destroyed. A thousand or more people were killed, 90 percent of Bingol's structures destroyed, and 15, of its inhabitants were made homeless. The earthquake occurred at the extreme eastern end of the Anatolian Fault. Modified Item:. Custom Bundle:. Non-Domestic Product:. Shipping and handling.
