Common Questions about Earthquakes in Queensland

How often are earthquakes recorded in the Queensland area?

No earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 or above were recorded in Queensland in the past 7 days. These figures describe the available records, not a prediction of future earthquakes.

What makes an earthquake “significant”?

It is not just about magnitude: reported shaking and estimated impacts also matter. The significant-events filter highlights events that meet the site’s criteria; it is not a warning or a complete list of felt earthquakes.

How strong was the largest recent earthquake in the Queensland area?

The largest earthquake recorded in Queensland in the past 30 days had a magnitude of 2.6. These figures describe the available records, not a prediction of future earthquakes.

How far back does the earthquake data go?

The historical search starts in 1900, but available records vary by region and source. Older and smaller earthquakes may be missing. A long search can reach the list’s display limit, so narrow the date range to explore it in more detail.
