A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8 and >8 for the same period
This pie chart shows how the total seismic moment released by earthquakes over the period 1906-2005 was distributed, with the largest individual earthquakes (left side) and groups of earthquakes (right side). The thin sliver of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake is also depicted for comparison purposes. Mw designates an earthquake's magnitude on the moment magnitude scale. Earthquakes referenced in this chart: Alaska (1964): Good Friday Earthquake Chile (1960): Great Chilean Earthquake San Francisco (1906): 1906 San Francisco earthquake Sumatra (2004): 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake
