This is a list of earthquakes in 2024. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the USGS.
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.
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 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
The strongest earthquake to hit the region since 1984. One house partially collapsed, and cracks in walls appeared in some others. [334] - - 13 [335] South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands offshore, South Sandwich Islands region 6.1 10.0 IV Aftershock of the 8.1 earthquake 16 hours earlier. - - 14 [336]
Iceland is experiencing a seismic swarm as 1,485 earthquakes have hit the country in just 48 hours prompting fears of a volcanic eruption.. Most tremours have been felt in the Reykjanes peninsula ...
It is the largest earthquake to hit the state since 2014. [332] On Hutchinson Island, the earthquake caused land to slump into the Savannah River, seriously damaging the parking garage of a dock situated above. [333] — — 19 [334] Japan, Ishikawa, 61 km (38 mi) north northeast of Nanao: 5.1 10.0 VI
The ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900-2013) (prepared at the request of the GEM Foundation) catalogs magnitude 5.5 or greater earthquakes suitable for modeling and assessing seismic hazard and risk. Epicentral locations and hypocentral depths were recalculated from original travel time data using a consistent velocity model.
