Earthquakes in Canada — November 2025

24 earthquakes were recorded in Canada during November 2025, an average of 0.8 per day.

1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 5 km.

The month's largest event in Canada was a magnitude 4.1 earthquake near Moosonee, Canada on 15 November 2025 at 09:58 UTC. A magnitude 4.1 earthquake radiates roughly 21 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is close to the Canada monthly average of 21 events over the period we cover, and up from the 23 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 4 in the magnitude 0 range, 11 in the magnitude 1 range, 7 in the magnitude 2 range, 1 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 04 November, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.1 near Moosonee, Canada on 15 November at 11 km; M3.4 near Peachland, Canada on 28 November at 4 km; M2.3 near Esquimalt, Canada on 09 November at 26 km.

That is 14% above the 21 events Canada averages per month across the 21 months on record.
