The question is too vague to answer precisely because earthquakes happen frequently all over the world, including many small ones every hour.

If you are asking about a specific earthquake, please add at least one of these:

• Approximate date and time (for example: “today around 4 AM UTC” or “yesterday evening”).
• Region or country (for example: “in California”, “near Japan”, “in Turkey”).
• Any known magnitude or whether there were tsunami warnings or major damage.

For reference, within the last several hours there have been moderate earthquakes near the north coast of New Guinea in Papua New Guinea and off the coast of Kamchatka, Russia, as well as many small quakes in places like Hawaii and California.
