About Seismio

Seismio is a free, interactive map of the latest earthquakes around the world. Whether you're a student, a researcher, or just curious about seismic activity, Seismio helps you see what's shaking, where, and how strongly.

Seismio is free to use, with no accounts, no ads, and no tracking.

Where the data comes from

Earthquake data comes directly from trusted public sources:

  • United States Geological Survey (USGS): worldwide earthquakes
  • Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA): earthquakes in Japan
  • GeoNet: earthquakes in New Zealand

Fault lines and volcanoes come from publicly available global datasets.

The world map

The interactive map shows recent earthquakes worldwide, colored and sized by magnitude. You can:

  • Filter by magnitude, depth, and time range (last day, 7 days, or 30 days)
  • Switch layers on and off: earthquakes, an earthquake heatmap, active fault lines, and volcanoes
  • Choose a map style, and switch between a flat map and a 3D globe
  • Click any earthquake for its magnitude, location, depth, and time

Country maps

Seismio has dedicated maps for 25 of the world's most seismically active countries, including Japan, Indonesia, Chile, Turkey, and New Zealand. Each country page shows:

  • The latest earthquakes in that country, going back up to 60 days
  • Local fault lines and volcanoes
  • An overview of the country's seismic history

Earthquake details

Each earthquake reported by USGS has its own page with in-depth information, including:

  • Magnitude, depth, location, and time
  • Intensity measures such as Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) and Community Decimal Intensity (CDI)
  • The number of "felt" reports and the tsunami flag
  • A map of the event with nearby faults and volcanoes

You can share an earthquake or copy its link with one click.

All data comes from open-source or public domain sources. Seismio does not claim ownership of this data and provides it for informational purposes only. In an emergency, always follow the instructions of your local authorities.
