Quick Stats
Quick Guide to This List
New to tracking seismic activity? Here’s the fast version of what the data above means.
- Magnitude: Measures the earthquake’s size…Measures the earthquake’s size (energy released). Small quakes are common and often not felt, especially if they’re deep or offshore. Feeling reports depend on distance and local ground conditions.
- Depth (hypocenter): How far below the surface the quake started. Shallow earthquakes (often considered under ~70 km / 43 mi) are more likely to produce noticeable shaking near the epicenter than deeper events.
- Location: A descriptive place name from the source feed, often shown as a distance and direction from the nearest well-known location.
- UTC Time: Times are shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) so the list stays consistent worldwide.
- Why earthquakes cluster: Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries. Active zones around the Pacific Ring of Fire often appear frequently in global 24-hour lists.

About the Data on This Page
This data is sourced directly from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) earthquake feeds (GeoJSON). This page displays M1.0+ events by filtering the USGS past-day feed. Event details and magnitudes may be revised after initial publication as more seismic data is analyzed. Times on this page are shown in UTC.

FAQs
What time range does this page cover?
This page shows a rolling (moving) window of earthquakes from the past 24 hours. Times are shown in UTC.
Why do magnitudes or locations sometimes change after an earthquake appears?
Early solutions are produced quickly and can be revised as additional seismic data is received and more detailed analysis is completed.
How often is the data refreshed?
This page checks for updates regularly from the upstream feed. For the newest snapshot, reload the page.
What does depth mean?
Depth is the estimated depth of the earthquake’s origin (hypocenter) below the surface, reported in kilometers.
Is this an official USGS website?
No. This site republishes and summarizes public earthquake feed data and links back to the official source for verification.
