Magnitude>6

SED Homepage

In the following list only seismic events grouped with at least one manual or two automatic locations do occur and represent an actual seismic event. Consequently, both the automatically updated Swiss epicenter plot as well as the world-wide epicenter plot contain only epicenters based on at least one manual or two automatic locations.
Only strong earthquakes with a magnitude larger or equal than 6 are listed on this page.
Click on the highlighted latest Swiss location and see the recorded seismograms.
  --- Disclaimer ---

NOTE: automatic locations are fast, but often not accurate and sometimes completely false!
