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.
