A Real-Time Map of Earthquakes Around the World

Track them as they happen.

More than 9,509 tremors have been felt worldwide in the past month; 1,789 in the past week; and 192 in the past 24 hours. And these numbers may have risen by the time you read this story.

When a new earthquake is recorded by any monitoring station around the world, it shows up on this new real time map, created by Mapbox using USGS earthquake data feed. The dots on the map represents the points at which the tremors were detected, and the size of the halos around them correspond with the magnitude of the underlying earthquakes.
