## What is Drifting Continents?

Drifting Continents is a visual atlas for exploring global earthquakes and tectonic plates.
See where recent earthquakes are happening, compare them with plate boundaries, and understand why seismic activity often follows the edges of Earth’s moving plates. The app is designed for curious learners, geography enthusiasts, students, and anyone who wants a clearer view of our dynamic planet.
Features:
Explore recent global earthquakes on a custom earth view
View magnitude, location, depth, and event time
Switch between globe and flat map views
Filter earthquakes by time range and magnitude
Show tectonic plate boundaries and seismic activity belts
Review recent activity with a simple earthquake dashboard
View hypocenter depth categories for selected events
Switch between English, Simplified Chinese, or system language
No account, no ads, and no location permission required
Drifting Continents focuses on visual exploration, not alarm or prediction. It helps you observe patterns, compare recent events, and build an intuitive understanding of plate tectonics.
Data is based on public earthquake sources, including USGS and supplemental public earthquake information for China-region events. Updates may depend on network conditions, public data availability, and server processing.
Important: Drifting Continents is not an earthquake prediction, warning, alert, emergency response, or safety decision tool. Earthquake and plate information is provided for general reference and educational exploration only. For official earthquake information, alerts, and emergency guidance, always refer to official earthquake monitoring agencies and local authorities.
