——-Our answer to JK Ekanath babu : Faults can always be present in the underground. Nothing special about this and certainly NO reason to start thinking on a big one to happen. The major fault lines are well mapped by the Indian seismologists.  2012 will be no different inthe world than 512 or 2512. Everything works in the underground like it did thousands and even millions of years ago.

seismograph - recordingUseful information to read this daily earthquake list
This earthquake list covers important earthquakes in the world.
If a more detailed page is present, the earthquake line will be linked to the detailed page.
For your comfort, we will provide in most cases Google Satellite Map links to give you an idea where the earthquake struck, which terrain it happened and if villages or cities are located in the immediate vicinity. The reference for the time zone is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, also called GMT)
The page is regularly updated to add new earthquakes.
green color = NOT dangerous for damage or injuries
orange color = MODERATE risk for damage or injuries
red color = CONSIDERABLE risk for damage or injuries
