This market will resolve according to the total number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or higher that occur anywhere on Earth between March 16, 2026, 12:00 AM ET, and March 22, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. 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.

Trader consensus heavily favors exactly one magnitude 6.5 or greater earthquake worldwide from March 16-22, with 78.5% implied probability, aligning with USGS historical baselines showing about 1.5 such events per week on average globally, modeled as a Poisson process with low variance. No M6.5+ quakes have occurred yet through March 19, per USGS monitoring, keeping zero at just 0.4% odds amid typical seismic randomness. Expectations of two (17.1%) reflect occasional weekly clusters, like recent Vanuatu aftershocks, but subduction zone quiescence and no major swarm alerts from global networks temper higher counts. Upcoming USGS updates through March 22 could shift odds if a teleseismic event materializes.
