Fatality Rate in Earthquakes (1905-1995)

Historical records of earthquakes before the middle of the 18th century are generally lacking or unreliable. Among the ancient quakes for which reasonably trustworthy records exist, the earliest known is the one that destroyed the city of Ephesus in Asia Minor in AD 17. The earthquke in 1556 in ShaanXi(ShenSi) Province of China, which killed about 800,000 people, was one of the greatest natural disasters in history.
