This list includes
significant events greater than magnitude 2.5 within the area covered
by the SRC seismograph
network.
Earthquake locations have been computed primarily using data collected
by the SRC.
Some locations may
contain additional data obtained from other seismological
observatories, including but not limited to Geoscience Australia,
PIRSA,
and
USGS
Any
data
derived
from
this
web
site
must be attributed appropriately.
Most magnitudes are given
on the Richter local magnitude scale (ML) but other scales such as
moment magnitude (MW) or surface wave magnitude (MS) are used for
larger earthquakes
Earthquake depths in
eastern Australia range from just beneath the surface to about 20 km.
If there is no seismograph near an epicentre it is difficult to
determine the depth, so a "normal depth" of 10 km is assumed
If you felt any of these
earthquakes, or especially if you were near an epicentre at the time of
the event and DID NOT feel it, please fill out an intensity
report
