The USGS keeps a fabulous website with loads of information, including globally. And I was a little surprised to see the level of seismic activity globally. There are numerous earthquakes every day, and there is even a separate list for those that occurred in the last 7 days AND are above 5.0 Magnitude. A list. A list that includes 65 events in the last 7 days alone. The vast majority of these occur without much incident. But as in Haiti, this one in Chile has again wreaked havoc on that country's two largest cities. More lives displaced and thrown a curve ball of mega proportions. Any problems we each may be having come clearly into focus in contrast to such incredible difficulty, scarcity, fear, uncertainty, and I'm sure a whole mess of emotions that I am forgetting. And the long path forward to rebuild, and gain some sense of stability. Mentally, Physically, Spiritually ... my thoughts and positive energy reaches out to those affected, Walk On.
Latest Earthquakes in the World - Past 7 days
Worldwide earthquakes with M4.5+ located by USGS and Contributing Agencies.
(Earthquakes with M2.5+ within the United States and adjacent areas.)
(Earthquakes with M2.5+ within the United States and adjacent areas.)
Instructions
- Hold your mouse over an earthquake to see its magnitude.
- Click on an earthquake for more information.
- Click on a location to go to a region map.
- Did You Feel It? - Report an earthquake
Tips
- To convert UTC to US time zones, see this list or this table.
- Magnitude = ? for new earthquakes until a magnitude is determined.
- Maps show events recorded in the last 7 days with M2.5+ within the United States and adjacent areas, M4.5+ in the rest of the world.
- Maps are updated whenever a new earthquake has been located. Try to reload this page if you do not have the most current map.

DISCLAIMER — The maps and lists show events which have been located by the USGS and contributing agencies within the last 7 days. They should not be considered to be complete lists of all events M2.5+ in the US and adjacent areas and especially should not be considered to be complete lists of all events M4.5+ in the world. The World Data Center for Seismology, Denver (a part of the USGS National Earthquake Information Center) continues to receive data from observatories throughout the world for several months after the events occurred, and using those data, adds new events and revises existing events in later publications. For a description of these later publications and the data available, see Scientific Data.
