Description
Another 7.0 or above earthquake by...?: A global risk window tracks earthquakes of magnitude 7.0+. If one or more events meet or exceed the threshold between market creation and the specified deadline, the Yes outcome resolves. The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program is the primary resolution source, with credible reporting as a fallback if needed. If a qualifying quake appears late, the market may stay open up to the end of the following month to incorporate revisions, then settles after a 24-hour post-event data check.

Rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if one or more earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or higher occur anywhere on Earth between market creation and the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. 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 the end of the month following resolution time 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. After a qualifying earthquake is registered, this market will remain open for 24 hours to account for any revisions to its recorded magnitude. After 24 hours, this market will resolve according to the latest provided data.
