Earthquakes worldwide

Earthquakes recorded in the last 3 days of magnitude equal to or greater than 1.0 in the world (you can choose which earthquakes are shown on the map), registered by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN)

Earthquakes occurring outside the U.S. and smaller than about magnitude 4.5 can be difficult for the USGS to locate if there are not enough data.
