24/7 Real-time seismic monitoring, automatic location, depth, and magnitude estimation of earthquakes using the GlobalQuake application.

The displayed information is preliminary and is subject to errors – automated calculations are not as accurate as manual ones.

**NOT FOR REBROADCAST**

==== What are the triangles? ====
Triangles represent seismic stations that constantly monitor ground movements at a certain location. At default, they have blue color and if any movement is detected, their color changes accordingly to the shaking intensity from green, yellow to red and they also flash to catch attention.

==== When will the next earthquake hit? ====
Earthquakes are unpredictable events that can occur without prior notice. It is important to understand that current scientific knowledge does not allow for precise prediction of earthquake occurrences. Individuals claiming to predict earthquakes should be approached with caution.

==== What is displayed when an earthquake is detected? ====
Detected Earthquakes are shown as a cross with 2 colored circles spreading evenly from the epicenter. Blue represents the predicted location of so-called P-waves, which are weaker but much faster than S-waves, that are displayed as orange or red circles. You can read more about seismic waves here for example: https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resou…

If the program is not sure about the earthquake information, then a “?” mark will be showed instead of cross in the epicenter. Old earthquakes are displayed as smaller circles with their radius proportional to the estimated magnitude, and their color depends on their depth, magnitude, or age, depending on the current settings.

If the earthquake is estimated to be strong enough to be felt at some location, a colored hexagonal overlay will be shown according to the estimated intensity in the MMI scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifie…

==== More FAQ ======

★ How do I install GlobalQuake?
→ Download GlobalQuake from https://globalquake.net/download
→ Head to https://github.com/xspanger3770/Globa… for installation instructions.

★ Can I get the latest 0.12.x version?
→ Unfortunately, this version is not currently available for download, but work is definitely in progress to make releases possible again. Thanks for your patience!

★ What is the quality (S, A, B, C, D) ?
→ The quality expresses how confident GlobalQuake is about the earthquake it has detected. If the quality is high (S, A), the earthquake is very likely detected at the correct location with the right depth and reasonably close magnitude. Quality of C or D likely means that the detection isn’t very accurate and the actual earthquake might be at completely different spot that GlobalQuake is showing.

★ What magnitude type is used?
→ GlobalQuake uses its own magnitude formulas that were manually “crafted” to best fit official readings. Therefore, the magnitude is neither mB, Mw, or anything like that. We simply call it “GlobalQuake magnitude” or Mgq.

★What would happen if a magnitude 9+ earthquake stuck?
→ This has, of course, never happened in GlobalQuake’s history, but based on my own knowledge and guess, it would be underestimated by at least 1 order of magnitude since the current version only assumes a single point of origin and cannot work with complex ruptures. Keep in mind that our program is in the very early stages of development, and it has many years of improvements ahead 🙂
