LIVE SEISMIC DATA
Earthquakes as they happen.
A live earthquake map on a 3D globe. Every tremor plotted with its magnitude, depth and location — updated continuously, free for everyone.
What you see for every quake
Magnitude
Every event plotted with its measured magnitude, so you can see at a glance what's minor and what's major.
Location
Precise epicenter placement on the globe — zoom from a planetary view straight down to the affected region.
Depth
Focal depth for each quake, because a shallow magnitude 5 and a deep magnitude 5 are very different events.
Time
When it happened, down to the minute — follow an unfolding sequence as aftershocks arrive.
How it works
When the ground moves, seismometers around the world feel it within seconds. Public seismic monitoring networks detect the event, triangulate its location and estimate its magnitude — then publish that data openly.
WorldEye pulls those public feeds and plots each earthquake on the 3D globe the moment it arrives: a marker at the epicenter, sized by magnitude, with depth and timing attached. The map keeps refreshing while you watch, so an unfolding aftershock sequence plays out in front of you.
It sits alongside the rest of the free map — live flights, 36,000+ public cameras, satellites, wildfires and weather — so a quake never appears in isolation. See the full picture, not just a dot on a list.
Why people watch
Travel safety
Checking in on a destination before you fly — or after you land — takes seconds. See what's shaking near where you're headed.
Following the news
When a quake makes headlines, look at the actual data yourself: where it hit, how deep, and what followed.
Pure curiosity
The planet never sits still. Watching the ring of fire light up over a week is strangely mesmerizing.
Earthquake tracker FAQ
Is the earthquake tracker free?
Yes — completely. The earthquake layer is part of the free map: no account, no signup, no credit card. Open the site and the quakes are already there.
How fast do earthquake updates arrive?
Events appear as the public seismic monitoring networks publish them — typically within minutes of a quake being detected and located. The map refreshes continuously while you watch.
What magnitude range is shown?
From small tremors to major events. Global networks reliably detect quakes around magnitude 4.5 and up worldwide, with smaller events picked up where regional station coverage is dense.
Can I get alerts for earthquakes?
The live map shows quakes as they happen while you have it open. For push alerts on your phone, dedicated apps from geological agencies are still the best option — WorldEye is the place to see the full picture once something happens.
Where does the data come from?
Public seismic monitoring networks — the same open feeds researchers and newsrooms use. WorldEye aggregates and visualizes them on the globe; it doesn't operate its own seismometers.
