USGS


This National Earthquake Information Center page shows recent earthquakes with fast moment tensor solutions. The page has both a world map and a list with links to individual earthquakes. Data for each event includes location, depth, magnitude, moment tensor, and the "beachball" graphical representation of source geometry/radiation pattern.
