Quake Pulse groups events assigned to Norway 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.

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.
