What You Will Find on Each Regional Page

Regional earthquake pages are designed to provide both current information and long-term context. Depending on the area, a page may include:

  • A list of the latest available earthquakes recorded within the region.
  • An interactive map with filters for different time periods.
  • Current earthquake counts and the largest recently recorded event.
  • Information about local faults, plate boundaries and seismic zones.
  • Descriptions of notable historical earthquakes and regional hazards.
  • Links to related country, state and neighbouring-region pages.

The minimum magnitude and geographic boundaries can vary between pages so that each map remains useful for its region. The threshold used is explained on the relevant page.

About the Earthquake Data

Earthquakes Worldwide currently uses earthquake records provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. Lists, maps and statistics update when a page loads or refreshes. Preliminary earthquake details can change as reporting agencies review locations, magnitudes and depths.

This website is an independent information resource and is not an official earthquake warning or emergency service. Follow instructions from local authorities and official emergency agencies when an earthquake affects your area.
