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.

The contour lines. Lines around big quakes come from USGS ShakeMaps: the outer line is how far shaking was felt by most people, the inner line where it was strong.
