Earthquake details

Tap any earthquake to open its details:

• Magnitude and its type (for example mww, the moment magnitude used for larger quakes).
• Depth: how far below the surface it started. Shallow earthquakes are usually felt more strongly.
• Date and time in your device’s time zone.
• Distance from you, and the country (or “near” a country for offshore events).
• Coordinates of the epicentre.
• Review status: Automatic values come straight from instruments and often change in the first hour; Reviewed means a seismologist has checked them.
• Source: which agency’s figures are shown.
