The list incorporates high-quality earthquake source (i.e., origin time, location and earthquake magnitude) and fatality information from several sources. Earthquake locations are taken from the Centennial Catalog [ 1 ] and the updated Engdahl, van der Hilst and Buland earthquake catalog, [ 2 ] which is complete to December 2005.
The swarm began in December 2020 at depths greater than 15 km (9.3 mi) beneath the peninsula's northeast. By mid-March 2021, the earthquake swarm migrated to shallower depths above 15 km (9.3 mi). Most earthquakes after May 2021 occurred at 10–15 km (6.2–9.3 mi) depth. The M w 7.5 earthquake occurring after the swarm was deemed "rare". The ...

Like other earthquakes recorded in western Japan between 1891 and 1948, the 1995 earthquake had a strike-slip mechanism that accommodated east–west shortening of the Eurasian plate due to its collision with the Philippine Sea plate in central Honshu. [13] The Mj 7.3 earthquake struck at 05:46:53 JST on the morning of January 17, 1995. It ...
The Richter scale [1] (/ ˈ r ɪ k t ər /), also called the Richter magnitude scale, Richter's magnitude scale, and the Gutenberg–Richter scale, [2] is a measure of the strength of earthquakes, developed by Charles Richter in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg, and presented in Richter's landmark 1935 paper, where he called it the "magnitude scale".

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck the Philippines 15 km (9.3 mi) northwest of Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte on April 13 at a depth of 17.0 km (10.6 mi). The shock had a maximum intensity of VII ( Very strong ). [ 62 ]
The 2012 Haida Gwaii earthquake occurred just after 8:04 p.m. PDT on October 27.The shock had a moment magnitude of 7.8 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of V (Moderate).The earthquake's epicentre was on Moresby Island of the Haida Gwaii archipelago (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands).
