List of megathrust earthquakes
This is a list of megathrust earthquakes that have occurred. Megathrust earthquakes are large seismic events that take place along convergent plate boundaries, particularly at subduction zones. Examples of subduction zones include the Sumatra and Java trenches, Nankai Trough and Peru-Chile trench which are frequent sources of these earthquakes.

Comparison of recent and historic earthquakes by energy release.
List
The inclusion criteria in this list is any notable subduction earthquake of at least magnitude 8.0.
