What If Biggest Earthquake Ever Was 2x Stronger
About this episode
The biggest earthquake ever recorded happened in Chile in 1960. The massive 9.5 quake set off volcanic eruptions and sent tidal waves as tall as skyscrapers racing across the entire Pacific Ocean! Scientists estimate that it was so powerful, it shifted the Earth's axis and made our days 1.26 microseconds shorter. So what if a mega earthquake two times stronger than that struck your town? Would a magnitude 20 earthquake rip the entire planet in half!? ?
