Historical series of the strongest earthquakes ever in transalpine nations from the year 1000 to 2020
This page shows the strongest earthquakes ever with epicenter in transalpine nations, from 1000 up to present times (year 2020 included). The information refers
to a database of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. In particular,
it is the following work: Rovida A., Locati M., Camassi R., Lolli, B., Gasperini P.,
Antonucci A. 2022. Parametric Catalog of Italian Earthquakes (CPTI15), version 4.0. National
Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), https://doi.org/10.13127/CPTI/CPTI15.4.
Below the map there is also a table, indicating the date, the denomination of the area
of maximum effects and the moment magnitude. Together with the events with an epicenter
in transalpine nations, those earthquakes not far from the regional borders have also
sometimes been included.
What was the strongest earthquake ever with its epicenter in transalpine nations?
The strongest earthquake ever with its epicenter in transalpine nations was recorded on January 12, 1721 with a magnitude equal to 6.5 (area/city: Costa croata settentrionale).
