Local reporting
Magnitude and intensity are different
Taiwan CWA recent earthquake reports include intensity details. Intensity is local observed shaking context, not the same thing as magnitude.

Taiwan Earthquake Map and Recent Reports
A focused Taiwan map for recent USGS earthquake reports, with plain notes on depth, distance, and CWA intensity context.
Taiwan context
Taiwan earthquake background
This page starts with recent reports. These local notes help the map make more sense.
Map reading
Near Taiwan does not always mean on land
Nearby reports can be inland, coastal, or offshore. Check the map point before assuming a town-level meaning.
Source habit
Compare the basic details
For any Taiwan-area report, compare magnitude, depth, time, location, and the CWA page when local context matters.
Map reading
How to read the Taiwan map
Check the reported location, depth, time, and source page before assuming what an event meant nearby.
Close frame
Distance matters on a compact island map
Taiwan reports can sit inland, coastal, or just offshore. Use the map point and place name together.
Depth check
Read depth early
Depth helps explain the source report, especially when nearby events sit close to the island or offshore.
Source link
Check CWA for intensity detail
USGS gives a broad public-data view. Taiwan CWA publishes recent earthquake reports and intensity details.

How this page uses data
For Taiwan, depth and distance from the island are important parts of reading nearby reports.
The main earthquake tracker has the broader time and magnitude filters. This page keeps the map frame and notes focused on Taiwan.
