 Identifier of the event.int4  
 Year in the catalog that the event occurred.int4  
 Day (within the Year) that the event occurred.int4  
 

Name/description of the event. 

Note that the description includes both the magnitude and the area code(s) affected by the earthquake. For more information regarding the specific area affected by an event, see fields:

  • Latitude
  • Longitude
  • AreaName
  • SubAreaName 
varchar200  
 Depth of the earthquake's epicenter, measured in kilometers.numeric9 (6,1)  
 

Source of the event.

  • Background- Seismicity
  • Crustal-Fault
  • Subduction-Fault
varchar200  
 When EQ_Source_Type is Crustal Fault or Subduction-Fault, this identifies the name of the fault associated with the event. Otherwise this field is not applicable.varchar200  
 

Identifies the type of fault associated with the event.

  • S = Strike-Slip
  • R = Reverse
  • N = Normal
char1  
 Length in kilometers of the area on the fault that ruptured during the event.decimal9 (6,1)  
 Width in kilometers of the area on the fault that ruptured during the event.decimal9 (6,1)  
 Angle between the rupture plane and the surface of the Earth.int4  
 90 degrees clockwise of the rupture azimuth, where the rupture azimuth is the angle between true North and the line of intersection between the rupture plane and the surface of the Earth, measured clockwise from north as viewed from above.int4  
 Number of fault segments that ruptured during the event.int4  
 

Indicates whether the epicenter occurred inland or offshore.

  • O = Offshore
  • I = Inland
    char1  
     

    Moment magnitude value for the strength of the earthquake at its epicenter.

    numeric9 (6,3)  
     

    Longitude coordinate where the epicenter of the event occurred. Values will be negative for locations west of the prime meridian up to the international date line. They will be positive for locations east of the prime meridian.

    numeric9 (8,3)  
     

    Latitude coordinate where the epicenter of the event occurred.  Values will be positive for locations north of the equator and negative south of the equator.

    numeric9 (8,3)  
     

    Area where the event occurred.

    varchar60  
     

    Subarea where the event occurred.

    varchar60  
     

    Indicates whether this event triggered a tsunami.
