Category:Earthquakes

This is the category for earthquakes.

Any earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or more is considered relevant; smaller earthquakes may be relevant but need some further reason, such as damage or casualties, or unusual size for the area of occurrence.

Almost all earthquake magnitudes are now given using the Category:Pages with defaulting non-local linksmoment magnitude scale; a significant fraction of uses of the phrase "on the Category:Pages with defaulting non-local linksRichter scale" are mistakes.
