Frequently Asked Questions
How often is the earthquake data updated?
Our live earthquake tracker updates automatically every minute. We pull data directly from major geological agencies including the USGS (United States Geological Survey) and EMSC to ensure you see the most recent seismic activity world-wide.
What qualifies as a "Significant" earthquake?
A significant earthquake is typically determined by a combination of its magnitude and the impact it has on populated areas. On our tracker, you can filter for "Significant" events to see earthquakes that have been flagged by the USGS as having a high impact or public interest.
What do the magnitude scales (M4.5+, M2.5+) mean?
Magnitude measures the energy released by an earthquake.
M2.5+: Usually felt by people, but causes little damage.
M4.5+: Capable of causing slight damage to buildings and significant shaking.
M6.0+: Can cause severe damage in populated areas.
