Data: USGS earthquake catalog, magnitude 2.5 and up, times in UTC. Outside the United States, USGS mainly lists quakes of about magnitude 4 and up, so smaller ones there are undercounted. Magnitudes and locations can be revised.

Did you know?

How big is a magnitude step?. Magnitude is logarithmic. Each whole number releases about 32× more energy, so an M6 releases roughly 1,000× the energy of an M4.
