The Arabian Plate is rotating away from Africa and colliding with Eurasia, driving earthquakes from the Red Sea rift to the Zagros mountains of Iran. The map above plots tectonic-plate boundaries alongside live earthquakes - zoom and pan to see how seismic activity traces the edges of the Arabian Plate. For instant alerts when a quake strikes near you, the free QuakeMate app sends real-time push notifications.
