A structured catalogue of nearby epicentre events with associated magnitudes and distances

Recorded Seismic Activity and Historical Earthquake Data for the Agger Tange Peninsula

Review a detailed collection of recorded earthquakes associated by proximity with the Agger Tange peninsula in Denmark. This catalogue provides a structured view of historical seismic events, offering transparent access to event dates, magnitudes, depths, and their calculated distance from the park landscape. Each record relies on USGS-derived data, helping users understand the distribution of past seismic occurrences across this coastal environment.

Agger Tange

Agger Tange is a low-lying coastal peninsula in northwestern Denmark, jutting westward from the mainland of Thy between the North Sea to the west and the Limfjorden to the east. Together with Harboøre Tange further south, it forms part of the rim of a former continuous barrier that once stretched between the villages of Agger and Harboøre. Today the area is defined by sandy beaches, dunes, salt marshes, reclaimed polder land, and shallow lagoon-like coastal waters, making it one of the most important wetland and shorebird landscapes in Denmark. The peninsula is highly significant for conservation. It belongs to Natura 2000 area 28, which also encompasses Nissum Bredning, Skibsted Fjord, and the island of Agerø, and it is simultaneously designated as a Ramsar wetland, a habitat area, and a bird protection area under the European Union birds directive. A large tract of state-owned land along Agger and Harboøre Tanger was protected in 1984, preserving the open coastal landscapes that support migratory waterfowl and protected habitat types. Geomorphologically, Agger Tange is a working landscape shaped by storms. The peninsula is no longer a continuous barrier in the classic sense: in 1825 a catastrophic storm surge broke through the sandy neck near Agger, creating the Agger Channel, and in 1863 a second breach produced the Thyborøn Channel further south, which is still open today. This turbulent coastal history, combined with continuing natural processes of erosion and accretion, gives the area a distinctive character that blends geological drama with ecological richness.

Recorded earthquake history associated spatially with Agger Tange

The Agger Tange catalogue assembles recorded earthquakes whose epicentres are associated with the protected area by calculated distance, without placing every event inside it. Dates, magnitudes, depths, reported locations, park-distance values, and original sources make the stored records useful for calm chronological and geographic comparison rather than hazard assessment.
