Quick answers about the live USGS Utah tracker and the earthquake details shown on this page.
This page shows recent earthquakes inside Utah using live USGS event data, an interactive statewide map, and a detail panel for the selected event.
New events appear after the USGS publishes them and this page refreshes its feed. Small or newly reviewed earthquakes can take a little longer to appear than larger events.
The live earthquake feed on this page comes from the public USGS earthquake catalog and event detail endpoints.
Magnitude is a measure of the earthquake's size and released energy. A higher magnitude generally means a stronger earthquake.
Depth is how far below the ground surface the earthquake started. Shallow earthquakes are often felt more strongly near the epicenter than deeper ones of similar size.
Significance is a USGS score that combines factors such as magnitude, felt reports, and other event metadata. It is not a separate physical measurement like magnitude or depth.
A felt earthquake may not appear immediately if the event is still being processed, revised, or located by the USGS, especially when the magnitude is small.
Yes. The current live home page is focused on earthquakes located inside Utah so the map and event list stay clean and state-specific.
