The Pulse of Our Planet

Our globe is a living, breathing entity, constantly shifting beneath our feet. While much of this movement goes unnoticed, the Earth’s tectonic plates are in a perpetual dance of subduction and collision.

On this page, we track the real-time seismic pulse of the world. Powered by data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), this monitor displays the most recent earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or higher. From the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific to the ridge of the Atlantic, stay informed about the dynamic forces that continue to shape our continents and oceans.
