展开全部
The deadliest quake of all time might be one of the least talked about, considering it occurred nearly 450 years ago.The 1556 quake claimed the lives of some 830,000 people. Why the massive death toll? Blame the quake's strength (8.0 on the Richter scale, or more than 30 times more powerful than the recent quake in Haiti) as well as timing and location. The pre-modern structures were utterly unable to withstand a quake of such force, and massive landslides contributed to the casualties.
历最可怕的地震也许是最少被谈及的一场地震，因为它发生在450年之前。这场地震导致83万人死亡。为何死亡人数如此巨大?原因在于震级(里氏8.0级，比刚发生的海地地震强30倍),还有时间和地点。古代的房屋建筑完全不能抵挡这样的大地震，大面积的山体滑坡也导致不少人遇难。
2.1976: Tangshan, China 唐山大地震
China has the misfortune to have had the second deadliest earthquake on record, the 1976 Great Tangshan Earthquake, which struck in the country's northeast. It'd be more accurate to call this a binary quake: an aftershock that struck 16 hours after the initial temblor measured an identical 7.8 on the Richter scale and was equally destructive.
继陕西地震之后，中国又发生了第二大强度的地震，1976年唐山大地震，确切来说是两次大地震：地震后16小时，里氏7.8级的余震又造成了巨大损失。
3.2004: Indian Ocean Tsunami 印尼海啸
On Dec. 26, 2004 a 9.2 magnitude earthquake rocked the bottom of the Indian Ocean, releasing energy equivalent to that of 23,000 atomic bombs. The largest earthquake in 40 years, the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake (so named because the epicenter was near the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra) launched a tsunami across the Indian Ocean, sending a series of waves as high as 50 feet crashing onto the shores of 11 countries. Some people were swept out to sea while others drowned in their homes, unable to escape. According to the U.S. Geological survey, the official death toll was 227,898.

5.1923: Kanto, Japan 关东大地震
Shortly before noon on September 1, 1923, an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale sent shockwaves through the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area. The violent tremors left few buildings habitable and prompted a tsunami that surged up to 40 ft. (12 m.) high. But the damage continued for days: by the time the fires stemming from the quake were contained, 90% of Yokohama's buildings were reportedly damaged or in ruins, and some two-fifths of Tokyo's had been destroyed - leaving half its population homeless. Nearly 143,000 people died.
