Finland has very low seismicity, mostly post‑glacial rebound quakes in the north. The largest recorded Finnish earthquake was M4.7 in 1626 near Oulu. Major faults include Post-glacial faults (e.g., Pärvie extends from Sweden). Notable quakes include 1626 Oulu (M4.7), 2018 Norrbotten (M4.0 felt). The seismic risk is very low. Tectonically, Finland lies on intraplate – stable shield. This page provides real‑time USGS data and historical context for Finland.

The region is defined by Post-glacial faults (e.g., Pärvie extends from Sweden), and the risk level is classified as Very Low. With a population of 5.5 million, understanding local seismic hazards is crucial.
Finland lies on Intraplate – stable shield. The movement of these plates builds up stress, which is released as earthquakes. In subduction zones, one plate dives beneath another, generating some of the largest quakes on Earth. In some regions, strike‑slip faults produce frequent moderate earthquakes.

Notable earthquakes in Finland include 2018 Norrbotten (M4.0 felt), 1626 Oulu (M4.7).
Finland experiences very low seismic activity, with only a few small earthquakes per year (mostly M1.0-2.5). Significant earthquakes (M4.0+) are extremely rare, occurring once every 50-100 years, according to USGS historical data.
Recent seismic activity has been recorded in Finland.
Yes. Finland is crossed by Post-glacial faults (e.g., Pärvie extends from Sweden), making it prone to seismic activity. The seismic risk level is classified as Very Low.
Drop, cover, and hold on. Stay away from windows, and if outdoors, move to an open area. After the shaking stops, check for injuries and be ready for aftershocks. Prepare an emergency kit with water, food, first aid, and a flashlight.
