NewQuake vs Rumble

NewQuake shows you what an earthquake actually did, not just its magnitude. Every significant quake comes with a map you can read. Replay the P and S seismic waves spreading from the epicenter, see ShakeMap shading where the ground shook hardest, watch the aftershock sequence fan out from the mainshock, and find the active faults nearby, including which plate is diving beneath which at a subduction zone. For the largest events, watch the finite-fault rupture unfold across the fault plane. Then go underground: open any quake in 3D to see how deep it struck, the plate sinking beneath it and the rupture, then rotate and replay it. What you get • A 3D view of every quake underground, with the faults, the sinking plate and the rupture, to rotate and replay • Live for great quakes and tsunamis: while the waves are still travelling, the map draws them where they are right now • Recent feed with color-coded magnitudes, felt reports, JMA shindo for Japan, and aftershock sequence pills • Map tab with a satellite globe, plate boundaries, active faults, and every recent event in one view • Event pages with depth in context, energy released, fault type, and the official agency bulletin • Historical Quakes: the great and giant earthquakes of the past, plotted and replayable • Guided map tours of last week's notable quakes and the historic ones, flying underground into each • Tsunami bulletins from NOAA, with the wavefront routed over the ocean floor and replayed • Ongoing volcanic eruptions from GDACS and the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program • Notifications with your own magnitude and severity thresholds, per saved location • Optional Time-Sensitive alerts for dangerous nearby events • Home Screen widget with the latest event • A glossary that explains every term the app uses • No accounts, no advertising, no tracking Data sources U.S. Geological Survey, European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, Japan Meteorological Agency, GeoNet (GNS Science, New Zealand), NOAA / National Weather Service, GDACS, and the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program.

Rumble is a beautiful, dark way to follow earthquakes as they happen -- anywhere on Earth. GET ALERTED Turn on notifications for quakes near you -- you choose how close and how strong. Or set a worldwide magnitude threshold and never miss a major one, wherever it strikes. Alerts are optional and fully under your control. SEE IT LIVE Every quake from the global USGS feed, updated continuously on a clean, fast map. Tap any quake for its magnitude, depth, and distance from you. KEEP AN EYE OUT Add a home-screen widget to keep the latest quakes in view without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Rumble uses only your approximate location -- and only when you turn on nearby alerts. Powered by real-time data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Note: Rumble reports earthquakes after they're detected and published by seismic networks and is not an early-warning system.
