Quick questions

What is magnitude?
Magnitude is a measure of the energy released at the source. It is not the same as how strong shaking feels at the surface.
Why does depth matter?
Shallow earthquakes are often felt more strongly at the surface than deep earthquakes of similar magnitude.
Are times local or UTC?
This overview uses UTC timestamps for consistency across all regions.
