The month's largest event in Colombia was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Santa Genoveva de Docordó, Colombia on 12 February 2025 at 17:26 UTC. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Colombia monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 7 recorded the previous month.
33% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 67% 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 3 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.8 near Santa Genoveva de Docordó, Colombia on 12 February at 10 km; M4.6 near Cepitá, Colombia on 17 February at 156 km; M4.5 near Jordán, Colombia on 06 February at 156 km.
