About this Market

This market asks whether a 7.0 magnitude or greater earthquake will occur in specific Asian countries before the end of 2026. Earthquakes are natural phenomena resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, creating seismic waves. The magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of the energy released, typically measured on the Richter scale or moment magnitude scale. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake is considered a major earthquake, capable of causing widespread damage. The outcomes of this market are determined by seismic activity reported by reputable geological agencies. Participants should be aware that seismic monitoring is a continuous process, and data may be subject to revision by reporting agencies.
