When year places a natural event in the year it actually happened. Wikipedia names "the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, the largest ever recorded at 9.5 magnitude" among the significant historical earthquakes on record. Browsing by year sets one event in the wider timeline of earth history alongside every other recorded phenomenon.
