earthstorm

This earthquake was an earthstorm. Hills were waves, and houses cast adrift were wrecked on them.

1931, Charles Fort, “Lo!”, in The Complete Books of Charles Fort, Dover Publications, published 1974, →ISBN, page 768:

There is an earthstorm, disks of rock careering skyward, buffeting the train.

2004, China Miéville, Iron Council, Del Rey, →ISBN:

It had come from the west, the shock wave from some almighty earthstorm in lost America, rolling clear across the Atlantic before breaking over Thursday Island. It had smashed down buildings, and sunk the ships whose dead masts could still be seen jutting sadly from the water in the harbor.

2010, Philip Reeve, Fever Crumb: A Web of Air, Scholastic, →ISBN:

(seismology, weather, fantasy) An extremely powerful earthquake; a storm involving earth or rock blowing through the air.

superquake

superquakes (plural)

In January 1973, Newsweek magazine reported an earthquake somewhere in the world , and added: "It was not a superquake as earth tremors go."

1978, Word Ways: The Journal of Recreational Linguistics, Volumes 11-12, A. Ross Eckler, page 104:

Others have suggested that, since this creeping section separates the two segments that have produced great earthquakes, that it is unlikely a "superquake" that ruptured all three sections could occur at one time.

1984, Guidebook for the San Andreas Fault, Cajon Pass to Wrightwood, Volume 55, Pacific Section, American Association of Petroleum Geologist, page 9:

This "superquake" may have been the largest in a series of earthquakes, thus marking the end of what's known as a supercycle: a sequence of several large earthquakes.

2015 May 6, Astrid Tomczak-Plewka, “Supercycles in subduction zones”, in phys.org:
