The 10 most powerful earthquakes that struck the world since 1950, one of which reached 9.5 on the Richter scale!
<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arab Weather -</strong> <strong>Earthquake</strong> is a destructive natural phenomenon, which lies in a rapid ground vibration followed by <strong>seismic</strong> waves, and the reason for this phenomenon is due to the movement of the so-called ground tectonic plates, which leads to the breaking of ground rocks and the occurrence of vibration waves whose impact on the surface of the earth is sometimes disastrous.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Humans measure the strength of earthquakes using several scales, perhaps the most prominent of which is the <strong>Richter scale</strong> <strong>, which ranks earthquakes</strong> from 1 to 10 according to the strength, with 10 being the strongest.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Predicting <strong>earthquakes</strong> is done on 3 levels, the first is where the <strong>earthquakes are</strong> located, by defining the areas of <strong>permanent seismic</strong> activity, the second level is the force with which the <strong>earthquakes</strong> occur, and the third is the timing of the <strong>earthquake,</strong> which is currently impossible and there is no way for us to know that.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>The 10 most powerful earthquakes that have hit the Earth since 1950, according to the Richter Scale:</strong></span></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Earthquake</strong> Chile <strong>(magnitude 9.5)</strong> occurred this earthquake Atarej <strong>22.05.1960,</strong> the strongest recorded earthquake in the history of mankind, caused the <strong>earthquake</strong> and tsunami waves have affected both the United States, Japan and the Philippines has resulted in the <strong>earthquake</strong> and tsunami killed nearly <strong>6,000</strong> people. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D8%B2%D9%84%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%B4%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%8A.jpg" style="width: 678px; height: 381px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Alaska <strong>earthquake</strong> <strong>(magnitude 9.2</strong> ): It occurred on March <strong>28</strong> , 1964.
