Questions

About earthquakes near Kumanovo

Outside the United States this page combines the USGS global catalog with EMSC, which includes smaller events reported by national seismic networks. The default view covers M2.5+ events within 300 km. Magnitude measures the energy at the source; how strongly it is felt also depends on depth, distance and local ground.

Was there an earthquake near Kumanovo today?

Not in the past 24 hours: USGS has not published any M2.5+ earthquake within 300 km of Kumanovo. The page refreshes every five minutes.

How often are there earthquakes near Kumanovo?

USGS recorded 383 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or more within 300 km of Kumanovo between 2016 and 2025, about 38 a year. That puts it above 66% of the cities QuakeScout tracks.

Is Kumanovo near a tectonic plate boundary?

The nearest mapped plate boundary, between the Aegean Sea and Eurasian plates, is about 309 km from the city centre. Earthquakes also happen on faults inside plates, so distance alone does not measure risk.

Why might a small earthquake felt in Kumanovo be missing?

The USGS global catalog focuses on moderate and larger earthquakes outside the United States. National agencies usually publish smaller local events first; the link on this page points to the relevant one.

Can QuakeScout warn me before an earthquake?

No. Earthquakes cannot be predicted, and QuakeScout is an information service, not an alert system. Follow official warnings and local authorities.
