California, USA
Located along the San Andreas Fault, California experiences frequent shallow earthquakes and remains one of the world’s most monitored seismic zones.
Alaska, USA
Alaska records more large earthquakes than any other U.S. state.
Japan
Japan is one of the most seismically active regions on Earth, frequently impacted by large offshore quakes.
Chile
Chile’s location along the Nazca and South American plate boundary makes it a hotspot for major megathrust earthquakes.
Indonesia
Part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Indonesia experiences frequent deep and shallow quakes.
Turkey
Turkey’s seismic history includes numerous destructive earthquakes near major cities like Istanbul.
Mexico
Earthquakes in Mexico often occur where the Cocos Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate, especially along the Pacific coast.
Philippines
The Philippines frequently experiences strong earthquakes due to its location on the Ring of Fire.
New Zealand
New Zealand one of the most geologically active regions in the Southern Hemisphere.
Peru
Peru experiences frequent coastal earthquakes due to the Nazca Plate’s movement beneath South America.
