Seismic monitoring or map of earthquakes online in the world. A tsunami hit Indonesia after a powerful earthquake Earthquakes online where tremors are happening now
And introduce you to a couple more wonderful services.
There are many seismically active areas on planet Earth, where tremors occur with a certain frequency. Their causes are overwhelmingly natural and caused by the movements of tectonic plates. Despite actively developing research in this area and good technical equipment, it is almost impossible to predict where and at what point on the planet there will be an earthquake tomorrow or today. All that remains is to keep track of where exactly they occur...
For today’s publication, I have selected three of the best services with which you can find out where there was an earthquake today or in the previous day (week, month, etc.), what strength it was, where its epicenter is, etc. In general, get access to almost the same information , which is owned by geologists all over the world.
Online earthquake map
This map displays the most complete information on seismic activity from all major geological sources. You can change its scale by holding down the CTRL key and turning the mouse wheel, switch between display modes in the form of a map or from a satellite:
The advantage of this map is that it collects specific numerical statistics in the form of graphs on tremors around the world:
- Quantity per day
- Time distribution
- Maximum magnitude by day
And in the table, data is updated online (the most recent at the top) for all earthquakes in the world, indicating their characteristics and data source.
Online monitor of the planet's seismic activity
The website https://earthquake.usgs.gov/ was created thanks to the support and participation of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the US Geological Survey. The goal of this project is to save lives by providing the most up-to-date information about earthquakes occurring not only in the United States, but throughout the world.
In the central part of the screen you see a display of our planet and circles representing the epicenters of seismic activity at the present time. On the left side of the window there is a monitor (constantly updated list) of the latest information:
- Where did the earthquake occur?
- At what depth
- What time
- What magnitude
By clicking on any event from the list in the pop-up window you will find more detailed information about it:
The size of the circles on the map and their color depend on the strength of the tremors and how long ago they occurred:
The information on the site is updated every minute (!), so you receive the most current and up-to-date information about seismic activity on Earth.
Real-time earthquake monitoring
Finally, the third resource displays the tremors occurring on Earth in real time in animated form:
Epicenters have different colors depending on the strength of the tremors (green - up to three, burgundy - more than six):
The left side of the window displays a feed of seismic events in the world (the most recent at the top). By clicking on any of them, you will move to the desired point on the world map and see the details in a pop-up window:
Everything is fine, the animation is cool and interesting, it makes the overall picture more clear, but it is precisely because of it that the site slows down quite noticeably. Perhaps it’s just me (if you haven’t had any problems with it, please write in the comments).
(ATTENTION! Below there is a set of MAPS and an ONLINE list MONITORING EARTHQUAKES ON THE PLANET FROM THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS OF THE US AND EUROPE!)
red - last 24 hours
orange - from 1 to 2 days ago
yellow - from 3 to 17 days ago
purple- from 2 weeks to 5 years
The map is clickable. Shows or tries to show all the earthquakes in the world. It does not show seismicity up to 4 points, but this way you can imagine the picture. If you click on the map, you will be taken to a larger screen where all potential threats will be even more visible.
Don’t forget to then click on the “return to previous page” arrow to view our other services, other threats, and also see what natural disasters and in what regions are shaking our planet. This is important for planning the route for future expeditions.
In addition, you can find information on how to survive in various disasters, how to avoid danger and much more. The sections also contain information about tools, equipment, shoes, equipment, and other means for survival and self-sufficient existence, including if you find yourself in an earthquake zone.

The map is clickable; by clicking on the circle (earthquake) you can find out data about it. You can also grab a map and move it to the area of interest on the planet.
The larger the diameter of the circle, the higher the magnitude of the earthquake.

Every day, various areas of our planet are shaken by tremors. An earthquake is one of the natural disasters that humans cannot prevent.
The only thing he can oppose to the indomitable forces of nature is the achievements of science in the field of forecasting. Systematization and monitoring of seismic activity makes it possible to avoid casualties and destruction in a timely manner, as well as to identify areas of the greatest seismic activity.
Accounting for earthquake sources
The Earth's seismicity map is a physical map of the planet that shows areas where earthquakes greater than 4 on the Richter scale have occurred over a certain period of time. The map uses the following conventions: the diameter of the area is proportional to the power of the tremors, and the color of the circle indicates the time interval. For example, red areas correspond to earthquakes occurring on the current date or in real time.

red circles - earthquakes in the last 24 hours
orange circles - earthquakes in the last 1-4 days
yellow circles - earthquakes in the last 4-14 days
EMSC and Google Map data
The map of seismic activity of the world allows you to select an area of the earth's surface by clicking the mouse button. In this case, the selected area will be separately displayed in the window, in which the epicenters of earthquakes are indicated in detail. The online seismic monitor allows you to obtain comprehensive data when selecting any source. The table shows the coordinates of the epicenters and the power of tremors, ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. The seismic recording stations located in the selected area are also displayed on the map of the area.
