Earthquakes in Argentina — February 2025

10 earthquakes were recorded in Argentina during February 2025, an average of 0.4 per day.

The month's largest event in Argentina was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Villa Basilio Nievas, Argentina on 01 February 2025 at 16:28 UTC. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 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 12 recorded the previous month.

10% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 90% 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 10 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 26 February, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.8 near Villa Basilio Nievas, Argentina on 01 February at 113 km; M4.7 near El Aguilar, Argentina on 10 February at 205 km; M4.5 near San Antonio de los Cobres, Argentina on 11 February at 211 km.

That is 45% below the 18 events Argentina averages per month across the 21 months on record.
