Earthquakes in Azerbaijan — December 2024
1 earthquakes were recorded in Azerbaijan during December 2024, an average of 0.0 per day.
1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Azerbaijan was a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Bilajer, Azerbaijan on 29 December 2024 at 20:14 UTC. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Azerbaijan monthly average of 1 events over the period we cover, and level with the 1 recorded the previous month.
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 1 in the magnitude 4 range.
That is 18% below the 1 events Azerbaijan averages per month across the 9 months on record.
