A magnitude 6.1 earthquake has struck New Zealand, just one day after a devastating cyclone forced a state of emergency across much of the country.. The quake occurred under the Cook Strait ...
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.
United States Geological Survey shake map for the 2019 Luzon earthquake; a maximum Mercalli intensity scale value of 6.6 was observed in Gutad, Floridablanca, Pampanga. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) initially reported an earthquake of magnitude 5.7 striking at 17:11 PST with an epicenter two kilometers N 28° E of Castillejos, Zambales.
The earthquake was the result of strike-slip faulting at a shallow depth. It had a maximum intensity of IX (Violent) on the Mercalli intensity scale. [10]According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake had a moment magnitude of 6.1 while the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC) and China Earthquake Administration (CEA) measured the earthquake at 6.4 on the surface ...

The earthquake struck some 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) off the western coast of Efate. [7] The United States Geological Survey (USGS) placed the earthquake at M w 7.3 with a depth of 54.4 kilometres (33.8 mi). The focal mechanism indicated oblique-normal faulting.
A smaller magnitude 4.5 (mb 5.3 [7]) earthquake occurred three minutes later. [8] The Sichuan Earthquake Administration said that this event was an aftershock of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred in April 2013, which killed nearly 200 people. [9] Another earthquake, with a magnitude of 4.9, occurred nearby in May, damaging 468 houses.
There is a greater than 99% probability of one or more magnitude 3.0 earthquakes in the area over the next day, a 74% chance of a magnitude 4.0 or larger, 22% chance of a magnitude 5.0 and larger ...
