The month's largest event in Bolivia was a magnitude 4.2 earthquake near Poopó, Bolivia on 14 October 2025 at 03:01 UTC. A magnitude 4.2 earthquake radiates roughly 30 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Bolivia monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 6 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.

That is 61% below the 3 events Bolivia averages per month across the 18 months on record.
