The month's largest event in Argentina was a magnitude 5.8 earthquake near Ushuaia, Argentina on 07 July 2026 at 01:26 UTC. A magnitude 5.8 earthquake radiates roughly 7,558 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Argentina monthly average of 18 events over the period we cover, and level with the 16 recorded the previous month.
44% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 56% 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 13 in the magnitude 4 range, 3 in the magnitude 5 range.
Activity peaked on 24 July, when 3 events were recorded.
