∙ 15y agoMagnitude 3 or lower earthquakes are mostly imperceptible, or incapable of being separated from background tremors such as industrial sounds, traffic, blasting, avalanches and so forth. It is possible to record an earth tremor without recognizing it for what it was, and thus the lower limit of detection is unknown.

The smallest earthquake ever was 0.1. Which was barely to feel at all.
The biggest earthquake ever recorded in New Zealand was the Wairarapa earthquake in 1855. This earthquake had a magnitude of 8.2.
The highest magnitude earthquake ever recorded was the 9.5 magnitude earthquake that struck Chile on the 22nd of May, 1960. Please see the related link.
Not that has ever been recorded by man. The largest recorded earthquake occurred off the west coast of Chile in 1960 and had a magnitude of 9.5. It is thought that the impact that occurred 65.5 million years ago creating the Chixulub crater beneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico (and thought to have contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs) yielded energy equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 12.5.
shaanix, china was the worst earthquake ever recorded

0.1 on the Richter scale! :D

Somewhere in the 3.0 to 4.0 magnitude range, depending on the geology and, of course, how close you are to the epicenter.
No, the highest ever recorded earthquake registered at 9.5
i think it was when the earthquake happened last year
