Watch disasters unfold on a map, hour by hour. Each replay below plays back a major earthquake and the earthquakes around it, with the story in plain numbers underneath; the last seven days on this site can be replayed the same way.
A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck northern Pakistan near Muzaffarabad on the morning of 8 October 2005. This replay shows every earthquake of magnitude 4 or more the USGS catalog holds within 250 km over the following month.
289 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0+ · largest 7.6
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck central Nepal on 25 April 2015, and a magnitude 7.3 aftershock followed on 12 May. This replay shows every earthquake of magnitude 4 or more the USGS catalog holds within 300 km over the month.
241 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0+ · largest 7.8
Two days before the magnitude 9.1 Tōhoku earthquake of 11 March 2011, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck in the same area. This replay starts on that day and shows every earthquake of magnitude 5 or more the USGS catalog holds within 600 km over the following month.
588 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0+ · largest 9.1
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck southern Türkiye near the Syrian border early on 6 February 2023, and a magnitude 7.5 earthquake followed about nine hours later to the north. This replay shows every earthquake of magnitude 4 or more the USGS catalog holds within 350 km over the month.
474 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0+ · largest 7.8
A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025. This replay shows every earthquake of magnitude 4 or more the USGS catalog holds within 400 km over the following month.
53 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0+ · largest 7.7
The events on the live map over the last seven days, played back. The map shows the same selection the live map does — every hazard type, with the busiest types capped — and the table counts every event this site recorded each day.
The replay needs JavaScript. The events are counted in the table below.

The sequences are snapshots of the US Geological Survey's global earthquake catalog, each for a fixed circle, a month and a minimum magnitude that the page states. The last seven days are this site's own records from the agencies it follows, which differ widely in how much they report: a country whose services publish many warnings will look busier than one that publishes few. None of these replays is a complete record of every disaster, and none is a forecast.

An earthquake that follows a larger one in the same area. Each replay plays back a major earthquake and the earthquakes recorded around it, hour by hour, so you can see where and when they happened.
No. Each replay is a record of earthquakes the US Geological Survey catalog holds for a fixed area and period, played back in order. It says nothing about what will happen next.
In the first hours after a very large earthquake many aftershocks are not recorded, because their signals overlap in the seismograms, so the first day's count is lower than what happened.
