It’s like they are contouring something. How strange /s

When I lived in Costa Rica, there were earthquakes just about every day. Most of them too small to feel or create damage – like 3-4 – but still measurable. Not sure how much each dot represents, but at least for Costa Rica, should be a LOT!
This is a great map! It clearly shows so much about our Earth and contains some surprises, for sure.

Why don’t the earthquakes quake on land? Are they stupid?

There was an earthquake the other day in England

One thing is certain; this map does not show “all” the earthquakes

I forget sometimes how lucky we are in the UK when it comes to dangerous environmental weather.
Sure we have the occasional teenie quake that about 1000 people feel, but no hurricanes, no tsunamis, no active volcanoes, no tornadoes.
Just year-round shite weather 😃

There are many many more Earthquakes that have occurred in the world since 2015. What could be plotted here is all Earthquakes greater than 5 magnitude. That is the threshold where Earthquakes start to feel bigger than a single pulse. The size and number of Earthquakes that occur in a given area follow a log scaling factor so there are many more 2,3,4M’s than are shown.

Source: United States Geological Survey ( USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program.
Methodology: Data was retrieved via the official USGS FDSN Web service API, ensuring 100% accuracy and provenance.
Data provider: USGS Earthquake Hazards Program
Dataset curator: Kanchana Karunarathna
Note: This data set contains the complete record of every significant earthquake (Magnitude 4.5+) detected by USGS from Jan 2015 to Dec 10, 2025.
Above a certain magnitude I assume. This is missing thousands of points.
I have access to the seismic monitoring software at work and we alone get hundreds daily. None of which are plotted here (for obvious reasons).

Here in Chile, earthquakes are just another fact, another part of our daily life. 90% of the population barely reacts to smaller tremors and things below id say 5.5 or 6

This map shows the [tectonic plate boundaries](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Tectonic_plates_%282022%29.svg) so well!

Interesting, New Zealand has quite a lot quakes while Australia is calm ……
TIL New Zealand is very quaky
Shoot striaght. How bad is it in NZ since its on a fault line?
Surprised that there were three earthquakes in Brazil
It’s wild that Wegener was ridiculed for his theory for decades. If only he had 10 years of earthquake data and PowerBI in 1912 to shut them up.
Man, what can’t power bi do amiright?
The plate in the Pacific looks like a bloated Africa.
Are there people that deny the existence of tectonic plates, like the flat earthers or something?
Nothing in Groningen?
Fake map.
Africa and pacific looks awfully mirroredÂ
Is that what Will drew in season 2?
The one in Sweden is from mining. The dot in the north lies exactly above an area with huge ore deposits.

Wow west South America really safe in comparizon with east South America.

Who needs GIS software when you have PowerBI?

Groningen is missing!!
japan should really consider moving sometime soon
