About NewQuake: Earthquake Tracker
NewQuake shows you what an earthquake actually did, not just its magnitude. Every significant quake comes with a map you can read. Replay the P and S seismic waves spreading from the epicenter, see ShakeMap shading where the ground shook hardest, watch the aftershock sequence fan out from the mainshock, and find the active faults nearby, including which plate is diving beneath which at a subduction zone. For the largest events, watch the finite-fault rupture unfold across the fault plane. What you get • Live for great quakes and tsunamis: while the waves are still travelling, the map draws them where they are right now • Recent feed with color-coded magnitudes, felt reports, JMA shindo for Japan, and aftershock sequence pills • Map tab with a satellite globe, plate boundaries, active faults, and every recent event in one view • Event pages with depth in context, energy released, fault type, and the official agency bulletin • A 3D view of every quake underground, with the faults, the sinking plate and the rupture, to rotate and replay • Historical Quakes: the great and giant earthquakes of the past, plotted and replayable • Guided map tours of last week's notable quakes, and of the historic ones • Tsunami bulletins from NOAA, with the wavefront routed over the ocean floor and replayed • Ongoing volcanic eruptions from GDACS and the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program • Notifications with your own magnitude and severity thresholds, per saved location • Optional Time-Sensitive alerts for dangerous nearby events • Home Screen widget with the latest event • A glossary that explains every term the app uses • No accounts, no advertising, no tracking Data sources U.S. Geological Survey, European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, Japan Meteorological Agency, GeoNet (GNS Science, New Zealand), NOAA / National Weather Service, GDACS, and the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program. NewQuake is informational and may be delayed or incomplete. Follow official local emergency guidance for safety decisions.

What’s new
Version 2.0 · Updated October 25, 2026
See every earthquake in 3D. The Depth card on each event page, and on any place you press and hold on the Map, now shows the quake underground: the map on top, then the hypocenter, nearby faults and the sinking plate below. Tap it to rotate, zoom and pan, replay the rupture and the P and S waves, and turn layers on and off. Recent has a Clear new markers button, so you can mark every new event as seen in one tap. GeoNet joins the sources. New Zealand's national seismic network adds the quakes it records around New Zealand, including smaller ones the global agencies do not list.
