Ranked on one common threshold, M3.5+, the lowest magnitude every one of the 24 monitored regions is fetched at, so the ranking compares like with like. The second line is each region's own count from its usual threshold.

How these numbers are produced

Counts are recomputed every 30 minutes from the public USGS catalog and, in Europe, the EMSC catalog. Solutions are preliminary: magnitude, depth and location are revised as more station data arrives. SeismoWatch reports earthquakes after they are published — it is not an earthquake early-warning system.

Event data: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), in Venezuela FUNVISIS and in Brazil the RSBR through the Centro de Sismologia da USP. Populated places and time zones: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Preliminary solutions are revised as more observations arrive.

Frequently asked questions

How many earthquakes have there been today?

202 earthquakes were published worldwide in the last 24 hours, 2 of them in the last hour. Several hundred are detected on a normal day and most are too small to feel.

What is the difference between this page and "Earthquakes today"?

This page is the summary: the current counts, the biggest events of the week and a route into every other view. The Earthquakes today page is the live map and full list for the last 24 hours.

Where do these earthquakes come from?

The public USGS global catalog, plus the EMSC catalog for European regions, deduplicated. Every listed event links to its own page with the full record.

Does this site warn me before shaking starts?

No. These are post-event reports, published after seismologists’ systems detect and locate an earthquake. Earthquake early warning is a different kind of system.
