This is a list of earthquakes in 2025. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the USGS.
In Japan, for shallow (depth < 60 km) earthquakes within 600 km, the Japanese Meteorological Agency calculates [2] a magnitude labeled MJMA, M JMA, or M J. (These should not be confused with moment magnitudes JMA calculates, which are labeled M w (JMA) or M (JMA), nor with the Shindo intensity scale.)
