Earthquake locations and magnitudes, 1900-2017


. . . the president of Seismological Society of Japan told the ‘Asahi Shimbun: “There are many excuses we can make, but it amounted to a defeat for us. The only thing we can say is that it was beyond our expectation. “ But this could equally well be said of all large earthquakes. Only the location of earthquakes can be predicted -- not their size and not their timings. Yet map of the world, with the locations of the biggest earthquakes since 1500 plotted, reveals a puzzle. It is as if humanity took a collective decision to build as many as possible of its biggest cities on or close to fault lines. This illustrates the fatal interplay between the infrequency of disaster and the shortness of human memory.. . . Page 94
