Earthquakes in Argentina — January 2025

12 earthquakes were recorded in Argentina during January 2025, an average of 0.4 per day.

12 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 148 km.

The month's largest event in Argentina was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Coranzuli, Argentina on 01 January 2025 at 03:56 UTC. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake radiates roughly 338 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the Argentina monthly average of 18 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 22 recorded the previous month.

0% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 100% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.

By band, the catalogue holds 12 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 01 January, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.9 near Coranzuli, Argentina on 01 January at 206 km; M4.9 near Villa Basilio Nievas, Argentina on 28 January at 110 km; M4.8 near San Antonio de los Cobres, Argentina on 02 January at 195 km.

That is 32% below the 18 events Argentina averages per month across the 22 months on record.
