Every new earthquake near Iraq appears here the moment it is detected - watch an aftershock sequence unfold, with optional browser alerts. No app, no setup.
After a major earthquake in Iraq, the ground keeps moving: aftershocks are smaller quakes triggered as the crust adjusts around the fault that ruptured. They are most frequent right after the mainshock and taper off over days to months. This page tracks recent seismic activity across Iraq live, so you can follow an aftershock sequence as it happens. For instant alerts the moment a new aftershock strikes near you, the free QuakeMate earthquake alert app sends real-time push notifications.

Aftershocks in Iraq - FAQ
Are there aftershocks in Iraq right now?
No large events have been recorded in Iraq in the last 24 hours, but aftershocks can continue for weeks or months after a major quake. The live feed above updates the moment new activity is detected.
How long do aftershocks last after a big earthquake in Iraq?
Aftershocks are most frequent in the hours and days right after the mainshock and taper off over time, but a large earthquake can produce aftershocks for months. Their number and size follow well-known patterns (Omori and Bath laws), so activity gradually declines even though individual aftershocks can still be strongly felt.
