The database contains information on 915 655 seismic events
(natural and artificial) from 2100 BC. to December 1992, included in the
46 global and regional catalogs.
For each earthquake the source code, date, time,
latitude, longitude, depth, magnitude, intensity and indications of related phenomena are given.
The database was created in the National Earthquake Information Center
of the US Geological Survey (NEIC, USGS).
The data was obtained from the World Data Center on Seismology in Denver, USA.
