Seismic activity during the year 2024 was much lower than the rest of the 21st century, with only 99 earthquakes exceeding magnitude six, the lowest since 1982.^[1] There were also no earthquakes exceeding ≥M8 for the third year in a row. Throughout the year, earthquakes killed 730 people; the vast majority of the fatalities were attributed to a M_w 7.5 earthquake that struck the west coast of Honshu in Japan. It was also the strongest event of the year and the deadliest in the country since 2011. Other notable and deadly earthquakes occurred in Taiwan, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, China, the United States and Vanuatu.
