THE GROUND BENEATH US
Follow USGS-reported earthquakes around Japan and its offshore islands. This feed is one source of observations; local agencies may publish additional events.
Catalog revisions are still catching up. These are the latest stored reports. Older corrections or withdrawals may be missing. Check USGS for current information.
Understand magnitude, depth and shaking
Showing reports collected by Forecast Bar, which may not include every earthquake. Recent catalog history builds as new events arrive; a longer window may have incomplete coverage. Regional views use geographic boxes and include neighboring areas. Times are shown in your device’s timezone when available, otherwise UTC.
LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER
A report starts with a place and a number. Understanding its depth, distance and local shaking brings the picture into focus.
