Location of Earthquakes
Circles show M≥6.0 earthquakes in the selected year. Size & colour encode magnitude; use the sliders to filter.
Quakes per Year
Annual M≥6.0 counts with a 3-year moving average (dashed). Vertical markers highlight years of major events.
Magnitude Distribution
Most M≥6.0 events cluster at 6.0–6.6; counts drop quickly beyond 7.0 and are rare ≥8.0.
Magnitude vs Fatalities
Bigger magnitude ≠ more deaths. Fatalities rise with exposure, building standards, and shaking intensity (MMI). Size =
damage (USD, B).
Top Countries by Impact (2000–2025)
Sum of deaths or damage across significant events. Use the dropdown to switch metric.
Yearly Impact Trends
Annual totals with a 3-year moving average (dashed) to reduce noise. Annotate peaks for 2004, 2010, 2011.
