The month's largest event in Bolivia was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Atocha, Bolivia on 25 April 2025 at 04:16 UTC. A magnitude 4.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is well above the Bolivia monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 1 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 4 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.7 near Atocha, Bolivia on 25 April at 247 km; M4.6 near Atocha, Bolivia on 19 April at 226 km; M4.6 near Atocha, Bolivia on 28 April at 235 km.
