Europe’s Earthquakes Are Larger than You Think

In Europe, 34 of the 50 nations on the continent have produced damaging earthquakes, or quakes with magnitudes of 5.0 or higher. This includes a number of nations not traditionally associated with earthquakes, such as the fact Belgium in 1692 produced a magnitude 6.5 earthquake. This video will discuss the largest earthquakes which have occurred in all of the European countries, with nations not being included if they never produced at least a magnitude 3.0 earthquake at one point.
