Explore live and historical earthquake activity by country. Country assignment uses offline geographic boundaries and a cautious text fallback for selected offshore events.
Country boundaries are processed locally, so Quake Pulse does not send every earthquake coordinate to a third-party reverse-geocoding API. Subnational pages are only created where the USGS reference locality can be matched to an ISO subdivision with enough confidence.
Guides, explainers and practical reading to go beyond the live data.
Magnitude is only one part of the story. Depth, distance, local ground conditions and building vulnerability help explain why shaking can differ so much from one earthquake to another.

Earthquake-resistant design is not about making buildings immovable. It is about controlling forces, deformation and failure so people have a much better chance of staying safe.

Early-warning systems detect an earthquake after it starts and try to send an alert before the strongest shaking arrives. The difference between warning and prediction matters.
