A 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck the area early on Wednesday, the strongest jolt in 40 years to rattle the volcanic field, known as the Campi Flegrei or Phlegraean Fields from the Greek word for ...
The 4.4 magnitude earthquake is part of an ongoing “seismic storm” that has seen more than a dozen events over 2.0 magnitude in the past 48 hours.
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
The following is a list of significant earthquakes from 2021–2030, listing earthquakes of magnitude 7 and above, or which caused human fatalities. Deaths due to earthquake-caused tsunamis are included.
Since 1900, there has not been a M w 6.0 or larger earthquake within 500 km (310 mi) of the recent earthquake's epicenter; but nine M w 5.0 and larger events have occurred to its east. [23] In another finite fault model published by Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology , the focal depth was determined at 24.7 km (15.3 mi ...
A magnitude 5.2 earthquake shook the Greek Aegean islands on Sunday, beginning another week of what geologists are calling an extended earthquake swarm that has sent tourists and residents fleeing.
Throughout the year, earthquakes killed 584 people, making 2024 the least deadliest year for earthquakes since 2020. The vast majority of the year's fatalities were attributed to a M w 7.5 earthquake that struck the west coast of Honshu in Japan immediately after 2024 began, which was also the strongest event of the year and the deadliest in ...
