Earthquakes in Bolivia — September 2026

The month's largest event in Bolivia was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Cliza, Bolivia on 10 September 2026 at 12:05 UTC. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 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 up from the 1 recorded the previous month.
0% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 100% deep-focus (over 300 km). That proportion of deep-focus events is the signature of a subduction zone: only a cold slab descending into the mantle stays brittle enough to rupture at those depths.
By band, the catalogue holds 2 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.8 near Cliza, Bolivia on 10 September at 373 km; M4.2 near Irpa Irpa, Bolivia on 15 September at 363 km.
That is 27% below the 3 events Bolivia averages per month across the 19 months on record.
