Australian Earthquakes 2014

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

A short animation video showing earthquakes occurring in Australia during 2014, as a timelapse. 2014 was a relatively quiet year for Australian earthquakes. Most earthquake events measured less than magnitude 4, which is considered small and unlikely to cause damage. Only seven earthquakes in 2014 were magnitude 4.0 or larger and these were felt throughout the regions in which they occurred. Although Australia, on average, tends to get one magnitude 5 per year, no earthquakes magnitude 5 or greater occurred in 2014.
