Overview maps at the same scale showing the epicenter of the M7.0 Hubbard Glacier Earthquake and modeled peak ground acceleration contours. A) shows the probability of landslides triggered by the earthquake and mapped faults, and B) shows the locations of landslides mapped using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) change detection.

Animation of Sentinel-1 radar backscatter satellite imagery from November 28th and December 9th, 2025, showing the changes in surface roughness after the M7.0 Hubbard Glacier Earthquake. The lighter regions have rougher surface areas. The colored points correspond to preliminary mapping of potential mass movements.

10 Largest Earthquakes Ever Recorded (Updated 2025)
#10. MAGNITUDE 8.6 (1950). Arunachal Pradesh, India - Referred to as the Assam-Tibet earthquake, this quake produced intense shaking, triggered sandblows, ground cracks, and large landslides across the region. All told, 780 people died.
