Recent Earthquakes Worldwide

How to use it

1. Choose Minimum magnitude for the smallest earthquake to show, and Period for the last 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days.
2. Choose Area: the whole world, or Türkiye and surroundings, the box from latitude 34 to 44 and longitude 24 to 46.
3. Type part of a place name in Search place, for example Dinar.
4. Press a column heading to sort by it, and press it again to reverse the order. Read Depth (km) with the notes below the table.

Magnitude and depth

Magnitude is the size of an earthquake, and each earthquake has one value for it. Intensity is different: it is the measure of shaking at each location, and it depends mainly on the distance from the fault rupture and on the local ground, according to the USGS.

The type after the number is the magnitude scale as the USGS gives it, in capitals here. The USGS describes ML as the Richter scale and Mw as the moment magnitude, which is based on the physical properties of the earthquake.

Depth is the distance, in kilometres, below the surface at which the earthquake starts, as the catalogue gives it. Where the catalogue has no depth, the table shows a dash.

What the list covers

The list holds earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and up anywhere in the world from the last seven days, as the USGS real-time feed gives them. The USGS updates the feed every minute, and our server asks for it at most once a minute.

On 10 November 2026 at 22:37 UTC, the feed held 88 earthquakes of this kind: 67 from 4.5 to 4.9, 18 from 5.0 to 5.9, 3 from 6.0 to 6.9, and none at 7.0 or more. Two of the 88 lie in the box of Türkiye and surroundings (latitude 34 to 44, longitude 24 to 46).

Smaller earthquakes in Türkiye, below magnitude 4.5, are not in this list. AFAD and the Kandilli Observatory publish the smaller earthquakes of Türkiye in their own lists; this page does not use them.

Place names are the English descriptions that the USGS writes. Times are shown in Türkiye time.

Where the data comes from

The data are the USGS real-time GeoJSON feed of earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and up for the past week. USGS data are in the U.S. public domain, and the USGS asks for credit, which the source line of this page gives.

Our server keeps one copy for a minute, and serves the last good copy for up to an hour if the feed cannot be reached.

Safety

This page does not give advice on what to do during or after an earthquake. For official warnings and safety guidance, follow AFAD, Türkiye's disaster and emergency agency, and your local authorities.
