Statewide seismic activity
Past 7 days · M1.5+
No seismic activity recorded
Richter-like moment magnitude (Mw)
Each full magnitude step = ~32× the energy. A M5 releases roughly 1,000× the energy of a M3. Hawaiʻi's most common source is volcanic activity along Kīlauea's flanks (shallow swarms) and deep events beneath the island chain.
