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.

Why depth matters. Shallow quakes (under 70 km) usually shake the surface much harder than deep quakes of the same magnitude.
