Quake Pulse groups events assigned to Gabon from coordinate-based country boundaries, with a cautious text fallback for offshore events. The page combines recent activity with the historical catalogue so a short-lived sequence can be read in context.
Locality hubs are inferred from recurring USGS reference-place descriptions.

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.
