Top 10 Earthquakes from 1990

According to the Wikipedia an earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The richter magnitude/scale is the most common scale on which earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes makes themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.

Rank Location Date Magnitude 1. Chile May 22, 1960 9.5 2. Prince William Sound, Alaska March 28, 1964 9.2 3. Andreanof Islands, Alaska March 9, 1957 9.1 4. Kamchatka Nov. 4, 1952 9.0 5.

Dangi lives in Rhimkholi, a remote mountain village about 250 miles west of it's capital Kathmandu. He has got five brothers in his family. But the others are on average height. Though he seems to be immature, he hadn't got any serious illness for his lifetime.
