When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 32 km2 (12 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 10 km (6 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Apr 24, 2026 01:52 am (Universal Time)3 minutes ago5.573 km0 km - This quakeNew ZealandMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake3 minutes agoApr 24, 2026 01:52 GMT / Apr 24, 2026 01:52 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: -35.21445 / -179.38847: New ZealandSource: GEONET (NZ)Detail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.5,55, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',-35.21445,-179.38847,'3 minutes ago: Mag. 5.5, New Zealand','Earthquake: Mag 5.5 / 73 km (45 mi) depth3 minutes agoApr 24, 2026 01:52 GMT / Apr 24, 2026 01:52 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: -35.21445 / -179.38847: New ZealandSource: GEONET (NZ)Detail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); // this will be local to this table obj function putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex) { qTableOlder.putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex); } map2.circleScale=0.5;qTableOlder.usePalette=1;qTableOlder.startVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime-(80*365.25*86400);qTableOlder.endVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime; qTableOlder.assignMap(map2); (async function(){await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r,4000));map2.map.setZoom(7)})(); })(); (async function(){while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server2.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=22938967","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection").remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg(),d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText").innerHTML=o.html,d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap").style.display="",eval(o.js)}})})();]]>Try our free app!Android | iOS versionSupport Us – Help Us Enhance Our Services!We’re passionate about delivering the latest volcano and earthquake data from around the globe — just for you.
