Regional earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or greater · past 365 days
USGS earthquake catalog for magnitude 4.5 and above over a rolling 365-day UTC window. The query rectangle, 60°S–33°N and 118°W–33°W, covers Latin America, open ocean and neighboring areas; it does not follow national borders. Shaking or impact estimates are not confirmed damage totals, and the tsunami flag is not a public warning.
Initial chart
Regional earthquakes of magnitude ≥4.5 by month · past 365 days
USGS, UTC months within a rolling 365-day window. Rectangle 60°S–33°N and 118°W–33°W, including offshore and neighboring areas. First and last months are partial; these are not country totals.
Quick read
2026-07 accounts for 16.5% of the displayed total (160). Together with 2026-09, the top two categories make up 27%.
Preview
Filter by UTC date, magnitude, magnitude type or location. Only events of magnitude ≥4.5 inside the regional rectangle are included, not every earthquake in the 17 countries. The first and last months are partial. Events may also appear in national catalogs; do not sum magnitudes or interpret the tsunami flag as a warning.
