Remark:
Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. "Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.

Tremblements de terre importants en Chine depuis 1900


Le tremblement de terre le plus meurtrier en Chine depuis 1900 était le séisme de magnitude 7.5 en  Chine, Hebei le juillet, 27, 1976. Cela a fait 242,769 de décès et 799,000 blessés. C'était le 5. séisme le plus meurtrier de l'histoire de l'humanité et le 2. séisme le plus désastreux jamais enregistré en Chine.
La plupart des dégâts causés par le séisme sont dus au tsunami qui a suivi le séisme. C'était le 15. séisme le plus meurtrier de l'histoire de l'humanité et le 5. séisme le plus désastreux jamais enregistré en Chine. Ce fut également le tremblement de terre le plus dévastateur survenu dans cette période : les pertes économiques totales ont été estimées à l'équivalent de $86 milliards de dollars américains. 5,360,000 des maisons et autres bâtiments ont été détruits et 5,360,000 endommagés.
