Country association uses simplified geographic boundaries. Offshore epicentres may be associated with the closest coast within about 200 km; this does not define national jurisdiction. An empty map area does not imply an absence of seismic activity.

How to read an earthquake map

Magnitude describes the earthquake source; intensity describes its effects at a particular location. A catalog solution gives a magnitude estimate, while shaking intensity varies from place to place. Depth, distance, local ground conditions and buildings affect the shaking people experience. USGS · Magnitude and intensity

“Richter” is often used informally, but catalogs may report Mw, ML, mb or Ms. This page preserves the source magnitude type. Initial solutions can change as observations become available. The history table lists recorded events and does not predict the next earthquake. USGS · Catalog documentation

Earthquakes in Greece

Explore earthquakes in Greece: recent records, selected major historical events, differences between magnitude catalogs and basic preparedness. Also consult the Geodynamic Institute for local seismic information; the global USGS feed is not a complete list of small earthquakes in Greece. Greece earthquakes and history · Geodynamic Institute

Volcanoes in Greece and worldwide

The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program catalog brings together Holocene volcanoes and their known eruptions. Inclusion does not mean a volcano is erupting now. The last recorded year and older eruptions describe historical records. Smithsonian GVP

Volcanic regions and weather forecasts

Linked distances are straight-line distances. A weather forecast helps with planning but does not determine whether access to a crater is permitted. Follow local restrictions and official notices.

VEI describes eruption explosivity and is not an earthquake magnitude. Unknown dates remain unknown. Annual tables count eruptions starting in each year, not every year an eruption lasted. GVP · FAQ
