The world's largest earthquake around M10 Tohoku University
expert has put together the results of the analysis of the
largest earthquakes that may occur in the world, from the size
and topography of the earth, that can be considered a maximum
size of around magnitude 10. At a meeting of experts was held in
Tokyo earthquake on June 21, the result of this analysis,
Professor of Tohoku University Graduate School of Nobu Matsuzawa
reported. We have been the size of the earthquake, according to
it, from such as the length of the plate boundary fault that can
cause massive earthquake and the size of the earth, it is
believed that it is up to around magnitude 10. 10 is greater
than the magnitude 9.5 magnitude earthquake that occurred off
the coast of Chile in 1960 amid the world's largest on a scale
of 32 times the massive earthquake in March last year, has been
known until now. For example, and the Kamchatka Peninsula from
North America, I have to be a fault of magnitude 10 8800 km
south of Japan along the trench
