Long-form reports place notable earthquakes in geographic and tectonic context. Explore historical events, fault science, observed shaking and the uncertainties behind early seismic data.
This archive report follows the 28 January 2020 earthquake beneath the sea between Cuba and Jamaica. It organizes the event location, agency estimates, reported shaking and subsequent revisions without treating preliminary observations as final.
Historical event dates remain part of the record. Review dates show when the archive summaries were most recently organized for this collection.
A review of the 21 October 2019 event, including its regional setting, reported shaking in southern Iran and observations from the wider Gulf area.
Depth changes how seismic waves travel and how an event may be felt. This report preserves the context of the 19 October 2019 earthquake.
A concise archive entry for the 18 October 2019 event, with attention to why smaller, shallow earthquakes can be noticeable near populated areas.
The 16 October 2019 earthquake in Mindanao is presented through its location, shaking observations and the need to distinguish early reports from confirmed impacts.
This report examines the 13 September 2019 earthquake near Luzon and why felt intensity can vary considerably across an urban region.
An archive review of the 31 August 2019 event and the geographic factors relevant to reports of shaking across central Myanmar.
A look back at the 29 August 2019 oceanic event, its offshore location and the importance of relying on official tsunami assessments.
The 12 August 2019 event is placed within the South Island’s complex tectonic setting and coastal seismic context.
This historical entry covers the 12 August 2019 event and the regional setting along the active eastern Mediterranean plate boundary.

Initial estimates can use limited station data. Later agency solutions may refine the event’s magnitude, depth and location.
No. They document past events and provide context. Use current national seismic and civil-protection bulletins for active hazards.
No. Depth, distance, geology, construction, rupture direction and exposure all influence impacts. Magnitude alone is not a damage estimate.
It indicates that people reported perceiving shaking. Felt intensity varies by location and should not be confused with instrument magnitude.
An offshore epicenter does not automatically mean a tsunami. Official warning centers assess depth, faulting and sea-level observations.
The earthquake glossary and fault-science explainers define the principal terms used in the event archive.
Earthquake Report’s in-depth collection connects individual events with regional geography, tectonic processes and observed effects. It is an editorial archive, not an emergency service or a substitute for official seismic bulletins.
