Live worldwide earthquake monitoring with USGS data, UTC timestamps, local time-zone difference and detailed event information.
UTC is shown first. Local time and its UTC offset are calculated from the epicentre coordinates.
Earthquake magnitude measures the energy released during a seismic event. This guide follows the same color scale used on the live earthquake map.
Usually weak and rarely damaging.
Often felt indoors, usually with little impact.
Noticeable shaking and possible minor damage.
Can damage buildings near the epicenter.
Serious damage possible across wider areas.
Potentially catastrophic earthquake impacts.
Follow the latest earthquake reports from major seismic regions around the world.
