Earthquakes in Canada — July 2025

13 earthquakes were recorded in Canada during July 2025, an average of 0.4 per day.

1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 6 km.

The month's largest event in Canada was a magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Pond Inlet, Canada on 31 July 2025 at 14:55 UTC. A magnitude 5.0 earthquake radiates roughly 477 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the Canada monthly average of 21 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 14 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 0 range, 3 in the magnitude 1 range, 5 in the magnitude 2 range, 3 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 07 July, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.0 near Pond Inlet, Canada on 31 July at 10 km; M3.5 near Penticton, Canada on 19 July at 4 km; M3.4 near Okanagan Falls, Canada on 19 July at 7 km.

That is 38% below the 21 events Canada averages per month across the 21 months on record.
