Volcanoes and Earthquakes shows the latest earthquakes around the world or just earthquakes near you, as well as “I-felt-it” earthquake reports for earthquakes, in near real-time. It also shows active volcanoes on a map and as a list, along with volcano news from around the world.
You can filter and view the data in a variety of ways, such as by magnitude or age of earthquakes, distance from your location, volcano status, and more.
