What do a magnitude 5 earthquake, a nuclear bomb test, and the Mount St. Helens eruption have in common? They all released about the same amount of energy.

We're excited to share that we've updated the classic "How Often Do Earthquakes Occur?" figure with new data and examples!

(1/2)

Bell-shaped graph comparing earthquake magnitude and frequency (left) to total energy release in TNT equivalents (right). Includes notable earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, impacts, and explosions. Shows that smaller earthquakes happen frequently, while large ones are rare but extremely energetic.

A M6.2 earthquake below the Sea of Marmara shook Istanbul today. While damage in this event was limited, a large earthquake on this fault system is one of the world’s most serious, and most anticipated, seismic disasters.
