@Dragonwarrior137 that's a big mistake... the Big Chile Earthquake in Valdivia's coast lasted 10 minutes and 25 seconds... because about 37 earthquake epicenters were detected near Valdivia during the period of recorded time, hence resulting in the duration and magnitude.
@MrKartos1 They had color in WW1 as-well, it was just super rare, and the cameras were so expensive. The first ever taken color photograph was in 1860's. If you google "Color Photograph" and go on the wikipedia page, you'll find some neat color photos back in the 1800's

just to mention that Chili has not has the biggest earth quake recorded, no earthquake is possible to last for 11 minute and 9.8 on the rictor scale. japan experiences a earthquake at a possible 1 a day on average. (However it is less than maybe 2 on the rictor scale therefoe is extremely rare to feel any vibrations).
THE LARGEST RECORDED EARTHQUAKE WAS ABOUT 8.5 WHEN THE TSUNAMI TOOK PLACE IN 2004 AT INDONESIA.
@joka4life1 There are different scales used inc. Richter (only for small quakes) and Moment (for large quakes). As you say, 9.8 is impossible. I think it's related to size of fault rupture and there are no faults large enough to produce such magnitude. But - Chile '60 was 9.5, Indian Ocean '04 was 9.1, Concepcion '10 was 8.8. The '23 Kanto quake was reported up to 10 mins. Depends on rock comp. We have about two or more a day in Japan that can be felt. Many more cannot. Maybe 1500/year.
@joka4life1 actually the 1960 chili quake IS the largest quake on record; the magnitude was 9.6 and lasted an est. 4 min.. the second largest EQ was march 1964 near anchorage alaska -measuring 9.4 and also lasted @4 minutes .the third largest was the 2004 indonesia quake measuring 9.2.. sometimes EQs feel like they last much longer than actual time because they are so scary, and because aftershocks sometimes occur seconds or minutes after the initial quake.
it's exactly the same as what I heard when I was about 14 or 15 living here in Cornwall, UK. I was getting dressed about 9am at the weekend and I heard this loud roar. I thought a bomb had gone off. Never felt any shaking even though my family told me that they felt shaking. Weird. I wasn't scared at all I just felt intrigued.
@MrViolentlyHappy i have to concur with your statement. I myself have been through a few earthquakes including, Northridge, Loma Prieta, Chino Hills, and more recently the Mexicalli earthquakes. They do tend to sound like thunder or a strange rumbling sound.
@pokesomi you were in the mexicali earthquakes too ?? i had gone through the big tremblor (7.2 ) and all the aftershocks (6.0 to 1.1) i live in the Imperial Valley do u know that county its north of mexicali.. its right here in the US
@lupitanrique if memory serves me correctly there are two, 1 is sandiego county and the other is Imperial County. I am In orange county. While it happend though I was driving and didnt feel it initially but i felt a few of the aftershocks. Northridge was a bad one for me as i woke up about 5 seconds before it hit. Jan 17 1994 at 4:30am. Went through that one, went back to sleep and saw it on the news the next morning
@pokesomi yep thats what i do when earthquakes happen at night or morning i dont think of it that much and go to sleep. I just beg god to take care of me and nothing happens that much.
Pyramidal or triangular building structures was one of the oldest architectural techniques to make buildings earthquake resistant. Baroque churches in the Philippines since the 16th century had some of these features introduced by the spaniards to protect the catholic scriptures, relics and priceless possessions from nature and man.
I forgot to mention that Chili probably gets the biggest quakes. They said on in 1960 was 9.8 on the ricter scale and lasted 11 minutes. I have never heard of a quake last longer then a few minutes. 11 minutes would be a nightmare.
the quake wasn't as powerful, it was rated a 9.8 because of the duration, it requires more energy for a quake to last longer than it does for a slip strike quake which can be more violent, a sudden 7.0 is more violent than a 8.5 that lasts longer, but which one causes more damage depends on the terrain and the way the structures are built
@bluevidcam Sumatra gets hit by bigger earthquakes much more frequently than Chili… since the 2004 9.3 quake they have 4 -5 quakes ranging from 7.0M – 7.9M hit them every year, including a 8.7M quake in 2005 and a 8.5M quake in 2007 . By the way that Chili quake in 1960 was 9.5, not 9.8. Alaska has also had some huge quakes! and it’s a known fact that megathurst earthquakes last for several minutes sometimes longer!
@bluevidcam that's right... because about 37 earthquake epicenters were detected near Valdivia during the period of recorded time, hence resulting in the duration and magnitude.
@bluevidcam There were two main ones, on May 21st and May 22nd plus tsunami.The one on Feb. 27th was scary enough in the capital city of Santiago so I can't imagine how anyone can survive 9.8 without having a cardiac arrest or something. Worst thing is when you realize movement increases and get more violent and you get a roaring sound of doors hitting frames, window breaking, objects falling down and worse, the sky illuminated in greenish blue at 3:34 am after having been reading about haarp.
@bluevidcam MOST of the time, EQ's that register higher than 8 on the richter scale go for longer periods of time, but don't feel as violent. I live in CHCH, NZ, on Sept 4 2010 we had a 7.1 that lasted around 55 seconds. Just 2 weeks ago we had a 6.3 that lasted around 10-15 seconds, i for one thought it felt MUCH stronger and it sure as hell caused much more devastation than the 7.1 ! EQs are weird.
@emmaensign6 its not just the magnitude, it also depends on the groud acceleration, and thats what causes the shaking. the 6.3 christchruch quake had like twice the ground acceleration than the 7.1 quake.
@bluevidcam a few mins not even 11 min must have been a mistake. earthquakes last no lpnger than 20 secs. i should know. i was in a 5.5 tremor not earthquake cause i live in west toronto not ottawa and the floor of room 205 my grade 7 science class started to move. sry for so much text but im a teen of detail
@bluevidcam Chile does get large scale earthquakes, they have 3 in the top 10 of all time, with the 1960 being number 1. It was a 9.5, and there's no info saying it lasted 11 minutes. There is one interesting fact about it though, it triggered a vocanic eruption 2 days later.
Just fyi, the longest duration for an earthquake ever recorded was the 9.1 Indian Ocean earthquake in 2004 which was about 9 minutes. Comparatively the 2011 Japan earthquake was a 9.0, but only lasted 6 minutes.
@Paulie151 The volcanic eruption is interesting, but not that interesting. It's fact that Earthquakes are what causes volcanic eruptions. Pompeii is the good example. I'm not quite sure about the 2011 Japan Quake lasting 6 minutes, because I had a friend there, and she said it was a normal length of time. About 2 minutes, but I can't be sure because there are a lot of different opinions.
I think Japan, Iraq and Afghanistan have the most quakes in the world. In Japan they happen all the damn time. But in places like Alaska they're up in the 8.0 - 9.3 scale. And in California they happen on a major scale every 10 years but luckly most of them are out in the desert on the San Andreas. My fear is one off the coast of San Francisco or through LA.
I remember the 89' quake I think it was a 7.2. It sounded like a freight train going by and coming to a dead stop. except the cars were a mile long each.
yes they roar underground. I was once in an earthquake and its scares the living shit out of you. Cos you could hear the rumbling sound coming under your feet like a wave.
Loud, like a sonic boom, but it keeps on going. Then everything in your house starts making it's own noise. The sound is very deep. As you can imagine, the sound is generated from about 10 or so miles down in the earth and that grinding crust is capable of some astonishing sounds. You certainly know you're alive when they hit. I've been through a 5.9, a 6.0, 6.8 (and all the aftershocks), a 6.5 and 7.2 and countless 3s to 5s. The Northridge quake scared the shit out of me.
the one that happned recently @ 4:00 a.m. i woke up nd the first thing i saw was the walls shaking nd i heard a horrible noise like thunder :( i couldnt go back 2 sleep :(
no actually it sounds more like more like a very low rumble but loud and if your close to it like i was you'll definitely feel the true power of the earth
I live in california, and been threw many good sized earthquakes. and that roar is some what helpfull at times. I mean not exactly since you cant do anything about the shaking but knowning for a brief second that its coming doesnt make me as scared. But its just as easy as to mistaken that roar sound for a large truck. makes my heart stop at times.. Its interesting how when ur in an earthquake even for 3 seconds it feels like it will never end.
Seconds before the 1994 Northridge quake hit here in Los Angeles, I remember that loud roaring sound like the one towards then end of this video. The loud roar woke me up maybe 2-3 seconds before the the first set of seismic waves slammed into our area. It still haunts me to this day. Anytime I hear a loud roar of a plane a pause for a second just to make sure its not an earthquake.
I know exactly what you mean! I remember that sound actually briefly incorporated itself into my dream...I was dreaming that I was outside with some friends and suddenly a train appeared in my dream and I woke up to that noise and the whole house violently shaking!!! Most surreal event of my life for sure! Once I realized what was going on I ran to the doorway and held on for dear life. It went on for so long I was certain the house was gonna collapse. We were 10 miles from ground zero.
This is scary. Been in one minor quake in Rochester, NY Spring of 1973. Was at school. Classes were switching near end of day. Few felt it because they were switching classes, but I did because I was sitting in a seat. There was a rumbling noise before, then all of a sudden the entire school dropped down about 3/4 of an inch. Scares me to this day. Don't want to be in a big quake.
REAL is always scarier...action and horror movies strangle themselves with special effects, wasting money...that 1980's-level was the best...maybe the EARLY movies didn't have ENOUGH TO LOOK REALISTIC (caps for emphasis)...but today's movies use TOO much to look realistic...
The scariest things I've seen are all either on youtube, or on daytime news
I live in Costa Rica so Earthquakes are common here, in my experience before the earthquake hits you can hear like a rumbling in the earth and then the shockwave hits for saying, but for sure the sound of it is very scary because you can here it coming.
You are 100% correct, havin been in 2 quakes myself in the space of 9months, this sound you hear is crumbling from under the ground, not above the surface, this is a very disturbing sound and was not a pleasent think to wake up to at 8.18am! (on my 5.6m quake in 2007!!!)
I was 6 during the SF quake of 84, you feel the sound more than hear it. There was a rockslide in Yosemite that was right above my house, and it sounded like when you drag a rubber raft along the ground but amplified 100x. A smaller earthquake nearby felt like someone was shaking the ground like a sheet, not moving side to side but in waves, and we heard and felt a rumbling through the air vents. It's scary not because of the sound, but because you everything reverberates through your stomach.
@thebluecliff Yeah i noticed the sound and thats what iv been looking for. In Australia we had a small one about two months ago and it sorta makes a sound like ww3 or the worlds gonna blow up. Im a rough bloke and never thought much of them becouse we dont usally get this stuff in Aus but when your in it some scary shit. Just didnt know what was happening (unexpected) i would have probly been scared shitless in one like that if i didnt expect it
Actually, microphones from the 1960's didn't capture all the frequencies, and were more distorted. In real life, it sounds like your house was hit by a car is what most people say, but, I think it sounds like a helicopter (or two) is attempting to land on your roof. You hear a deep rumble, then you hear your house creaking in all of the corners, and your windows rattle. If you have a decent home theater system, I could mix a 5.1 sound re-creation of a quake for a better idea : ).
@thebluecliff We had a small earthquake in New England, 1992. It sounded like 200 Mac trucks coming down the road from far away. I was up in a building, so you could hear the the 'trucks' coming over the hills from far away. Sounded like lots of mac trucks from 20 miles away.
if there a other earthquake in la.....i dont think my reserves of candy wont be enough :(

I live in california, and been threw many good sized earthquakes. and that roar is some what helpfull at times. I mean not exactly since you cant do anything about the shaking but knowning for a brief second that its coming doesnt make me as scared. But its just as easy as to mistaken that roar sound for a large truck. makes my heart stop at times.. Its interesting how when ur in an earthquake even for 3 seconds it feels like it will never end.

Seconds before the 1994 Northridge quake hit here in Los Angeles, I remember that loud roaring sound like the one towards then end of this video. The loud roar woke me up maybe 2-3 seconds before the the first set of seismic waves slammed into our area. It still haunts me to this day. Anytime I hear a loud roar of a plane a pause for a second just to make sure its not an earthquake.

this roar is even louder when the quake is at 10-30 km depth you can imagine how scary it is in that depths..

I know exactly what you mean! I remember that sound actually briefly incorporated itself into my dream...I was dreaming that I was outside with some friends and suddenly a train appeared in my dream and I woke up to that noise and the whole house violently shaking!!! Most surreal event of my life for sure! Once I realized what was going on I ran to the doorway and held on for dear life. It went on for so long I was certain the house was gonna collapse. We were 10 miles from ground zero.

This is scary. Been in one minor quake in Rochester, NY Spring of 1973. Was at school. Classes were switching near end of day. Few felt it because they were switching classes, but I did because I was sitting in a seat. There was a rumbling noise before, then all of a sudden the entire school dropped down about 3/4 of an inch. Scares me to this day. Don't want to be in a big quake.

REAL is always scarier...action and horror movies strangle themselves with special effects, wasting money...that 1980's-level was the best...maybe the EARLY movies didn't have ENOUGH TO LOOK REALISTIC (caps for emphasis)...but today's movies use TOO much to look realistic...
The scariest things I've seen are all either on youtube, or on daytime news

I live in Costa Rica so Earthquakes are common here, in my experience before the earthquake hits you can hear like a rumbling in the earth and then the shockwave hits for saying, but for sure the sound of it is very scary because you can here it coming.

Simply amazing. The swaying of buildings looks almost unreal.
BTW, does anybody know if this is how earthquakes actually sound like? (notice the 'thunder' in the video)
thebluecliff 3 years ago
Hi bluecliff
I thought the same thing when I heard and did some research, apparently the "thunder" could be possibly steel structures or cladding vibrating.
But if you find further research about the noise I would be quite interested to learn about.
Thanks for checkin out the videos.
Cheers

You are 100% correct, havin been in 2 quakes myself in the space of 9months, this sound you hear is crumbling from under the ground, not above the surface, this is a very disturbing sound and was not a pleasent think to wake up to at 8.18am! (on my 5.6m quake in 2007!!!)

Thank you, matty
With an underground rumble and the whole world shaking, it must have been very disturbing indeed.

I was 6 during the SF quake of 84, you feel the sound more than hear it. There was a rockslide in Yosemite that was right above my house, and it sounded like when you drag a rubber raft along the ground but amplified 100x. A smaller earthquake nearby felt like someone was shaking the ground like a sheet, not moving side to side but in waves, and we heard and felt a rumbling through the air vents. It's scary not because of the sound, but because you everything reverberates through your stomach.

@thebluecliff yes thats what an earthquake sounds like......like the rumbling stomach of a thousand beasts....

@thebluecliff Yeah i noticed the sound and thats what iv been looking for. In Australia we had a small one about two months ago and it sorta makes a sound like ww3 or the worlds gonna blow up. Im a rough bloke and never thought much of them becouse we dont usally get this stuff in Aus but when your in it some scary shit. Just didnt know what was happening (unexpected) i would have probly been scared shitless in one like that if i didnt expect it

Actually, microphones from the 1960's didn't capture all the frequencies, and were more distorted. In real life, it sounds like your house was hit by a car is what most people say, but, I think it sounds like a helicopter (or two) is attempting to land on your roof. You hear a deep rumble, then you hear your house creaking in all of the corners, and your windows rattle. If you have a decent home theater system, I could mix a 5.1 sound re-creation of a quake for a better idea : ).

@thebluecliff We had a small earthquake in New England, 1992. It sounded like 200 Mac trucks coming down the road from far away. I was up in a building, so you could hear the the 'trucks' coming over the hills from far away. Sounded like lots of mac trucks from 20 miles away.
