Earthquakes on the Eurasian Plate

A live map of recent seismic activity along the Eurasian Plate boundary.

The Eurasian Plate underlies most of Europe and Asia. Major earthquakes occur along its southern boundary with the African, Arabian and Indian plates, from the Mediterranean to the Himalaya. The map above plots tectonic-plate boundaries alongside live earthquakes - zoom and pan to see how seismic activity traces the edges of the Eurasian Plate. For instant alerts when a quake strikes near you, the free QuakeMate app sends real-time push notifications.
