Informational Service
EarthQuakeTracker is an independent information and education website. It presents selected public earthquake records and explanatory content for general exploration. It does not operate a seismic network, issue official earthquake solutions, provide emergency alerts, or replace professional scientific, engineering, legal, insurance, or safety advice.
By using the site, you acknowledge that live earthquake values can be preliminary, incomplete, delayed, revised, merged, or reclassified by the source agency. Verify consequential information with the responsible government or geological authority.
Responsible and Permitted Use
You may browse and link to public pages for lawful personal, educational, editorial, and research purposes. Do not attempt to disrupt the service, bypass reasonable technical controls, overload application endpoints, misrepresent the site as an official government service, or use displayed information to create deceptive emergency messages.
Automated access should respect published crawl controls, avoid filter combinations that create unnecessary requests, and use official source APIs when bulk scientific data is required.
Data, Content, and Attribution
Earthquake records originate from the U.S. Geological Survey and contributing networks. Source attribution does not imply USGS affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement. EarthQuakeTracker-written explanations summarize scientific concepts using established terminology.
Third-party names, maps, and data remain subject to their respective notices and terms. Do not remove attribution when a source requires it.
Availability and Changes
The service may be unavailable during source outages, hosting interruptions, maintenance, or application updates. Features, routes, filters, and these terms may change as the site develops. No guarantee is made that every event or field will always be available.
Questions and Review Date
Questions about these terms can be directed through the Contact page once a verified public mailbox is listed. Last editorial review: August 11, 2026.
