Earthquakes in Azerbaijan

No events have been recorded in Azerbaijan in the past 30 days, of which 11 reached magnitude 4 or above, the point at which shaking becomes widely noticeable. Activity here is almost entirely crustal, which means shaking at the surface is strong relative to the magnitudes involved.

11 earthquakes have been recorded in Azerbaijan in our catalogue, 0 of them in the past 30 days.

The average magnitude is 4.7 and the average focal depth 26 km. 11 events reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above.

The strongest earthquake recorded in Azerbaijan in this period was a magnitude 5.6 event near Sovetabad, Azerbaijan on 08 April 2026, at a depth of 10 km. A magnitude 5.6 earthquake radiates roughly 3,788 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

Locations recording the most events include Pirallahı (2), Shamakhi (1), Qobustan (1), Divichibazar (1), Sovetabad (1).

100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.

By band, the catalogue holds 9 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.

The busiest single day was 27 February 2026, with 2 recorded events.

No event in this record carries a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information.
