Most Recent Earthquakes in the United States

The United States averages thousands of detectable earthquakes per year. Most are too small to notice, but notable events — those large enough to be felt or significant enough to record — happen regularly across the country. Alaska and California lead in frequency, though induced seismicity in Oklahoma and Texas has added substantial activity in recent years.

This table shows the most recent notable earthquakes from the USGS catalog. The data comes from the same source used for real-time seismic monitoring and earthquake alerts nationwide. Use this page to see current earthquake activity patterns across US states.
