Live Earthquake Tracker & Database

Stay informed about seismic activity around the globe with our Live Earthquake Tracker. This tool provides real-time and historical earthquake data using information from official geological surveys. Whether you want to see the latest tremors from the past hour or search for specific events, our tracker puts powerful data at your fingertips.

How It Works

Our tool connects directly to a global earthquake database to fetch the most current information. You can interact with this data in two main ways:

  1. Live View: See a summary of all significant earthquakes that have occurred in the last hour, updated with a single click.
  2. Advanced Search: Use our detailed search form to query the historical database for events based on date range, magnitude, and geographic location.

Key Features

  • Real-Time Data: Get an up-to-the-minute list of earthquakes that have happened in the past hour.
  • Powerful Historical Search: Filter the entire earthquake database by date, magnitude, and latitude/longitude coordinates to find specific events.
  • Color-Coded Magnitudes: Instantly identify the strength of an earthquake with clear, color-coded indicators for low, medium, high, and severe events.
  • Interactive Sorting: Easily organize your results by time (newest or oldest first) or by magnitude (strongest or weakest first).
  • Detailed Event Information: Each event card shows the location, time (in your local timezone), and depth.
  • In-Depth Details on Demand: Click the "Details" button to load more scientific information, such as ShakeMaps and links to the official event page.
  • Direct Map Links: Instantly view the earthquake's epicenter on a map with a convenient "View on Map" button.
