To most people's surprise, significant worldwide earthquake activity happens at a phenomenal rate. The number of worldwide earthquakes registering M4.0 or stronger ranges between 100 - 500 events per week; activity in the M5+ range happens between 5 - 70 times per week; and it is unusual when a M6+ quake does not happen somewhere on the planet during a week.

Substantial microseismicity happens at a regional level as well. Obviously, California and Alaska are areas in the United States with the highest microseismicity, but other regions also show a surprising number of earthquakes. Even the East Coast, an area where most people would consider as seismically quiet, is the site of a half dozen to a couple dozen events each week - albeit there are small, yet they do occur.

With significant worldwide earthquake activity and regional microseismicity happening at these rates, there is a compelling interest to know what is happening and follow the activity from week to week.

Like the weather, earthquake activity is dynamic and changes each week. New regions become active while others become quiet. Significant events occur and create robust aftershock sequences which persist for a few weeks and sometimes for years.

People want to know about their region's "seismic personality", if you will, and want to know more about other regions.
