 Over the past week, earthquake activity in the United States has been relatively typical in overall frequency, but notable events occurred in both Alaska and California. According to Earthquakelist.org as of November fourth, a shallow magnitude five point four earthquake struck roughly one hundred ten miles from Anchorage, Alaska, early Thursday morning, and was followed by a magnitude four point six event about sixty-four miles from the same city Friday afternoon. Earlier in the week, a magnitude five point nine earthquake occurred in the North Pacific Ocean, about two hundred fifteen miles from Eugene, Oregon, which was also felt in parts of the Pacific Northwest. On Monday night, a shallow magnitude four point three earthquake was felt near Berkeley, California, a region known for frequent moderate seismicity. These events are consistent with past patterns, as the United States regularly experiences several earthquakes each week, with a total annual average of about one hundred seventy-six magnitude four or higher events within a roughly three hundred kilometer radius of the country.

Alaska remains the most seismically active state, reflecting the region's complex tectonics along the Pacific Plate boundary. California continues to experience regular tremors, the vast majority of which are smaller than magnitude four, but enough moderate quakes persist to maintain public and scientific vigilance. In fact, the largest earthquakes in the country in recent years have tended to cluster along the Alaskan and Western U.S. coasts, as highlighted by the Anchorage magnitude seven point one event of two thousand eighteen, while California's last similarly sized event was the Ridgecrest seven point one in two thousand nineteen.

Looking globally, seismic activity over the past week has included a magnitude six point one earthquake near Kamchatka, Russia, according to a recent global earthquake report. Other significant quakes were recorded in Indonesia, Turkey, and Japan, including a shallow magnitude five point seven east of Yamada. In total, more than five hundred earthquakes were reported worldwide on November first alone as detailed by Goryokaku dot org, highlighting the ongoing and distributed nature of seismic activity across multiple tectonic settings.

No major earthquake-induced disasters or extreme casualties have been reported in the United States or worldwide in the past week, though countries like Japan and Indonesia experienced moderate-to-strong events that were widely felt. Scientists continue to emphasize the importance of preparedness and monitoring, particularly in the most earthquake-prone regions of the Western United States and Pacific Rim, as even routine moderate events can serve as reminders of the ongoing geologic risks.
