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?

North America's biggest. The 1964 Great Alaska earthquake measured M9.2, the largest ever recorded in North America. Alaska has more large quakes than any other US state.
