Most severe and most recent earthquakes earthquakes occur naturally in the lithosphere, the outer rock layers of the earth. Like volcanoes and tsunamis, they occur mainly at the edges of tectonic plates. The countries bordering the Pacific, but also in Central Asia, are most clearly affected.
The map and table below list all earthquakes of the last 24 hours that had a magnitude of at least 2.5 on the Richter scale and were located near inhabited areas. Quakes on the open sea are therefore not included here.
