Is there a tsunami warning right now?
No. There are no active tsunami alerts anywhere in the world in the feeds QuakeMate tracks (the US National Tsunami Warning Center and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center). Because none is active globally, none is active for any individual country.
Which countries have the most earthquakes today?
Turkey has had the most earthquakes in the last 24 hours (16 of the 100 most recent events QuakeMate tracked), followed by France (6), Indonesia (5), Mexico (4), Chile (3). This ranks the most recent events in the feed, not every earthquake worldwide.
Which volcanoes are erupting right now?
38 volcanoes are currently erupting worldwide according to the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program, and 3 are on a raised US alert level (USGS HANS).
Tell me a surprising earthquake fact
Each step up the magnitude scale releases about 32 times more energy. A magnitude 9 quake unleashes roughly 1,000 times the energy of a magnitude 7. Earthquake shaking arrives in waves: fast P-waves first, then the destructive S-waves. Early-warning systems detect the harmless P-waves and race out an alert before the strong shaking hits. Aftershocks can rumble on for days, months, or even years after a big quake. Occasionally what looked like the main quake turns out to be a foreshock of something larger.
Which years had the most major earthquakes?
2010 had the most magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes on record, with 24 - the strongest an M8.8, 2010 Maule, Chile Earthquake. Next were 2011 (20) and 1995 (20).
Which fault and trench systems do you cover?
QuakeMate covers 18 hazard zones - the named fault, trench and caldera systems - including Campi Flegrei, Yellowstone, Long Valley Caldera, Reykjanes Peninsula, Nankai Trough.
它能做到的事
- 告訴你目前是否有海嘯警報生效，以及由哪個中心發布。
- 統計某個國家近期的地震數量，並指出最大的一次。
- 說明哪些火山正在噴發，以及處於哪個警戒等級。
- 解釋規模、餘震與板塊邊界是怎麼運作的。
- 直接帶你到對應的頁面，而不是描述它在哪裡。
它不會做的事
- 預測地震。 沒有人能做到，所以它會直說，而不是猜。
- 憑空生出警報或解除警報。官方狀態一律照機關自己的用語從資料來源取得，否則就完全不提。
- 用 QuakeMate 以外的內容回答。如果資料沒有涵蓋，它就說自己不知道。
遇到緊急狀況時，請以你所在國家的警報中心與當地主管機關的指示為準。
這是 Beta 版
它聽得懂關於地震、海嘯與火山的一般問題，但遇到不常見的說法時，仍可能誤解而回答了別的問題。答案背後的資料，就是支撐 QuakeMate 其他功能的同一份資料。如果它答錯了，請告訴我們－Beta 就是為此而存在。
答案從哪裡來
地震資料來自 USGS、EMSC 與各區域地震觀測網。海嘯警報來自 US National Tsunami Warning Center 與 Pacific Tsunami Warning Center。火山資料來自 Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program，美國的警戒等級來自 USGS。這位助理只能使用這些資料來源與本站的頁面，也正因如此，它才能告訴你自己不知道。
