This is a list of earthquakes in 2024. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the USGS.
Seismic activity during the year 2024 was much lower than the rest of the 21st century, with only 99 earthquakes exceeding magnitude six, the lowest since 1982.[1] There were also no earthquakes exceeding ≥M8 for the third year in a row. Throughout the year, earthquakes killed 573 people, making 2024 the least deadliest year for earthquakes since 2020. The vast majority of the year's fatalities were attributed to a Mw 7.5 earthquake that struck the west coast of Honshu in Japan immediately after 2024 began, which was also the strongest event of the year and the deadliest in the country since 2011. Other notable and deadly earthquakes occurred in Taiwan, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, China, the United States and Vanuatu.
