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 16 km2 (6 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 7 km (4 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Nov 14, 2026 04:52 pm (GMT +10)46 minutes ago5.210 km0 km - This quakeState of Yap, Federated States of MicronesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake46 minutes agoNov 14, 2026 06:52 GMT / Nov 14, 2026 04:52 pm (GMT +10)Lat / Lng: 9.7032 / 147.3631: State of Yap, Federated States of MicronesiaSource: USGSOther sources: GFZ: 5.1 / 10 km, BMKG: 5.5 / 35 km, 1 more...Detail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.2,52, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',9.7032,147.3631,'46 minutes ago: Mag. 5.2, State of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia','Earthquake: Mag 5.2 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth46 minutes agoNov 14, 2026 06:52 GMT / Nov 14, 2026 04:52 pm (GMT +10)Lat / Lng: 9.7032 / 147.3631: State of Yap, Federated States of MicronesiaSource: USGSOther sources: GFZ: 5.1 / 10 km, BMKG: 5.5 / 35 km, 1 more...Detail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); 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)})(); })(); (function(){let done=false;async function loadPrevious(){if(done)return;done=true;while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server3.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=23637737","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){let s=d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection");if(s)s.remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");if(!table)return;table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg();let ph=d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText");if(ph)ph.innerHTML=o.html;let wrap=d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap");if(wrap)wrap.style.display="";if(typeof updateAgeStrings=="function")updateAgeStrings();eval(o.js)}})}let d=document,target=d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection");if(!target||!("IntersectionObserver" in window)){loadPrevious();return}let obs=new IntersectionObserver(function(entries){if(entries.some(e=>e.isIntersecting)){obs.disconnect();loadPrevious()}},{rootMargin:"300px 0px"});obs.observe(target)})();]]>Sources: VolcanoDiscovery / VolcanoAdventures and other sources as noted.Use of material: Most text and images on our websites are owned by us.
