Browse earthquakes by magnitude

What each magnitude band feels like, how much energy it releases, and every recorded event in it.

How to read this data

Magnitude

Magnitude measures the energy released at the source on a logarithmic scale. Each whole step up represents about 32 times more energy: a magnitude 6 earthquake releases roughly 32 times the energy of a magnitude 5, and about 1,000 times that of a magnitude 4.

Focal depth

Depth is the distance below the surface where the rupture began. Shallow earthquakes (less than 70 km) shake the surface hardest for a given magnitude. Intermediate events (70–300 km) are usually felt more weakly but across a wider area, and deep events (over 300 km) rarely cause damage even at large magnitudes.

These reference guides go deeper: what an earthquake is, the magnitude scale explained, why focal depth matters, how tsunamis are generated and what to do during an earthquake. See all earthquake guides.

Why magnitudes change

Initial magnitudes are computed automatically within minutes and are often revised as more seismic stations report. It is normal for an event to shift by a few tenths of a magnitude in the hours after it occurs.

Frequently asked questions about earthquakes

How many earthquakes happen each day?

Global networks logged 142 earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 or above in the past 24 hours, 952 over the past seven days and 4329 over the past 30 days. Most are too small to be felt; only a few hundred a year are strong enough to cause damage.

What was the biggest earthquake today?

The strongest earthquake recorded in the last 24 hours was a magnitude 5.5 event near Ruteng, Indonesia, at a focal depth of 10 km.

What was the largest earthquake this week?

The largest earthquake in the past seven days was a magnitude 6.5 event near Nikolski, United States.

What magnitude of earthquake can be felt?

People near the epicentre usually start to notice shaking at around magnitude 2.5 to 3.0. Magnitude 4.5 and above is widely felt, and damage generally begins around magnitude 5.5 in areas without earthquake-resistant construction. Depth matters as much as magnitude: a shallow quake is felt far more strongly than a deep one of the same size.

How quickly is this page updated?

Events are pulled from the USGS feeds continuously, so a new earthquake normally appears here within minutes of being located. Magnitudes are often revised in the hours after an event as more seismic stations report.
