APPENDIX 24 USGS MAJOR WORLD EARTHQUAKES: 1700-2004 Appendix for the paper The 9/56 Cycle & Earthquake/Volcanic Cycles The United
States Geological Survey presented a listing of 45 biggest
recorded earthquakes (mag =>8.0) occurring around the world between 1700 to
2006. Of this total figure, 15 happened in the 12 months ended June 15 of those
years in the 9/56 patterns in Table A this appendix (significant p <
.001). This effect applied to the biggest recorded earthquakes. Of the 22 biggest world
quakes (mag =>8.3), 11 appeared in the 9/56 year grid in Table A, whereas
3.1 could have been expected by chance. Of the 23 events of magnitude between
8.0 & 8.3, only four appeared in Table A, a finding which could be expected
by chance. 1964 03 28 - Prince William Sound, Alaska - M 9.2 2004 12 26 - Sumatra-Andaman Islands - M 9.1 1952 11 04 - Kamchatka - M 9.0 1700 01 26 - Cascadia Subduction Zone - M 9.0 1906 01 31 - Off the Coast of Ecuador - M 8.8 1965 02 04 - Rat Islands, Alaska - M 8.7 1755 11 01 - Lisbon, Portugal - M 8.7 2005 03 28 - Northern Sumatra, Indonesia - M 8.6 1957 03 09 - Andreanof Islands, Alaska - M 8.6 1950 08 15 - Assam - Tibet - M 8.6 1963 10 13 - Kuril Islands - M 8.5 1938 02 01 - Banda Sea, Indonesia - M 8.5 1923 02 03 - Kamchatka - M 8.5 1896 06 15 - Sanriku, Japan - M 8.5 2001 06 23 - Near the Coast of Peru - M 8.4 1933 03 02 - Sanriku, Japan - M 8.4 1905 07 09 - Mongolia - M 8.4 2006 11 15 - Kuril Islands - M 8.3 2003 09 25 - Hokkaido, Japan Region - M 8.3 1958 11 06 - Kuril Islands - M 8.3 1897 06 12 - Assam, India - M 8.3 1994 06 09 - Bolivia - M 8.2 1938 11 10 - Shumagin Islands, Alaska - M 8.2 1906 08 17 - Valparaiso, Chile - M 8.2 2004 12 23 - North of Macquarie Island - M 8.1 1998 04 25 - Balleny Islands Region - M 8.1 1966 10 17 - Near the Coast of Peru - M 8.1 1957 12 04 - Gobi-Altai, Mongolia - M 8.1 1949 08 22 - Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, Canada - M 8.1 1946 12 20 - Nankaido, Japan - M 8.1 1946 04 01 - Unimak Island, Alaska - M 8.1 1944 12 07 - Tonankai, Japan - M 8.1 1934 01 15 - Bihar, India - M 8.1 1811 12 16 - New Madrid Region - M 8.1 2000 11 16 - New Ireland Region, Papua New Guinea - M 8.0 1985 09 19 - Michoacan, Mexico - M 8.0 1970 07 31 - Colombia - M 8.0 1946 08 04 - Dominican Republic - M 8.0 1945 11 27 - Off the coast of Pakistan - M 8.0 1922 11 11 - Chile-Argentina Border - M 8.0 1907 10 21 - Tajikistan - M 8.0 1899 09 10 - Yakutat Bay, Alaska - M 8.0 1891 10 27 - Mino-Owari, Japan - M 8.0 1812 02 07 - New Madrid Region - M 8.0
