When the planet unleashes its full force, the results can be unimaginable.
On May 22, 1960, Chile was struck by the largest earthquake ever recorded: a magnitude 9.5 megaquake. The rupture stretched roughly 1,000 kilometers along the country's coast.
But what if a megaquake struck a major city today?
Where are the world's most dangerous fault lines? When could the next major earthquake strike? And can science help us prepare for what's coming?
MEGAQUAKES explores the science, danger, and unanswered questions surrounding Earth's most powerful earthquakes.
