10.0 or above earthquake before 2027?

Prediction market · Polymarket

Overview

This market will resolve to “Yes” if 1 or more earthquakes with a magnitude of 10.0 or higher occur anywhere on Earth between December 8, 2025 12:00 PM ET, and December 31, 2026, 11:59PM 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 January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, 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.

    "context_description": "Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a 95% implied probability for no magnitude 10.0 or greater earthquake before 2027, driven by fundamental geophysical limits confirmed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Earthquake magnitude depends on fault rupture length and slip; the longest subduction zones, like those off Chile and Sumatra, cap events at around 9.5, as seen in the record 1960 Valdivia quake. No fault system on Earth can sustain the ~14,000 km rupture needed for magnitude 10.0, rendering it physically impossible under current tectonic models. No magnitude 9+ events have occurred since 2011's Tohoku, with 2026's largest at 7.5 near Tonga. Resolution hinges on USGS-verified data through December 31, 2026, with negligible risk from non-tectonic sources like impacts.",
