Earthquake Basics
Earthquakes are sudden movements of the Earth's crust caused by the release of energy along geological faults or by volcanic activity. They are measured using the Richter or Moment Magnitude scales, with magnitude indicating the energy released. Smaller earthquakes (below magnitude 3.0) are often imperceptible, while larger ones (magnitude 5.0 or higher) can cause significant damage. Depth is another key factor; shallow earthquakes (less than 70 km deep) are often more destructive than deeper ones. The map and list display earthquake locations, magnitudes, depths, and times, helping you understand where and when seismic activity occurred. Larger magnitudes, shallower depths, and proximity to populated areas generally increase the impact of an earthquake.
