Understanding a week of earthquake activity
Many small earthquakes occur every day, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries. A cluster of dots does not by itself mean that a larger earthquake is imminent. Scientists cannot predict the precise time, place and magnitude of a future earthquake.
The default filter shows magnitude 2.5 and above to keep the weekly display readable. Select “All magnitudes” to include every event available in the public USGS weekly feed. To interpret the map, learn how magnitude differs from intensity and why earthquake depth affects shaking.
Frequently asked questions
What does this page cover?
Every earthquake in the public USGS feed for the last seven days, worldwide. The default filter starts at magnitude 2.5 to keep the map readable.
Does a cluster of earthquakes mean a big one is coming?
No. Clusters and swarms are common, and no method can predict the time, place and magnitude of a future earthquake.
Which time zone are the times in?
Your own — each time is labelled with its UTC offset, and you can switch the whole list to UTC.
