5.0–5.9. 2,046. 4.0–4.9. 14,643. ← 2020. 2022 →. This is a list of earthquakes in 2021. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in damage and/or casualties, or are notable for some other reason. All dates are listed according to UTC time.
The Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) is a collaboration of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and regional, state, and academic partners that collects and analyzes data on significant earthquakes to provide near real-time (generally within 10 to 30 minutes [1]) information to emergency responders and officials, the news media, and the ...
M 7+ earthquakes in the South Sandwich Island region have historically occurred at intermediate depths (broadly defined as 70–300 km depth). However, the largest earthquake in the region was a shallow (10 km deep) M 8.1 earthquake on June 27 1929 that was located approximately 450 km northwest of the epicentre of the August 2021 M 8.1 ...
Since 1900, there has not been a M w 6.0 or larger earthquake within 500 km (310 mi) of the recent earthquake's epicentre; but nine M w 5.0 and larger events have occurred to its east. A finite fault model by the USGS indicates rupture occurred on an east-northeast–west-southwest striking, north–northwest dipping thrust fault.
In the wake of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that has struck Turkey and northwest Syria, killing hundreds of people across both nations, here are some the largest earthquakes from around the world ...
An earthquake occurred off the coast of the Alaska Peninsula on July 28, 2021, at 10:15 p.m. local time. [5] The large megathrust earthquake had a moment magnitude ( Mw) of 8.2 according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). [6] A tsunami warning was issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) but later ...
That’s also where South Carolina’s most powerful recent earthquakes were recorded on June 29, 2022. On that day, two earthquakes — one a 3.5 magnitude and the other 3.6 — were included in ...
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.
