Trader consensus overwhelmingly favors exactly two earthquakes of magnitude 6.5 or greater worldwide from March 16-22, per USGS real-time catalog data confirming a M6.7 off Vanuatu on March 17 and a M6.9 near Indonesia on March 20, with no additional events through March 21 UTC. Global seismicity baselines from USGS historical records average 0.5-1 such quakes weekly, supporting low odds for a third amid quiet monitoring in high-risk zones like the Pacific Ring of Fire. Scenarios challenging this include a late-week major aftershock or undetected deep-focus event, though preliminary foreshock patterns and seismic network coverage make a surge unlikely before resolution.

The resolution source for this market is the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/browse/significant.php#sigdef).
If an earthquake of substantial size has occurred within this market's timeframe but not yet appeared on the resolution source, this market may remain open until April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or until the earthquake in question otherwise appears on the resolution source. If such an earthquake has not appeared on the resolution source by that date, another credible resolution source will be used.
This market may not resolve until the timeframe of this market has concluded. If a qualifying earthquake has been recorded on the final day, this market may remain open for 24 hours to allow for revisions to the recorded magnitude. After 24 hours, this market will resolve according to the latest provided data.
