Earthquakes in Colombia — March 2025
4 earthquakes were recorded in Colombia during March 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
4 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 86 km.
The month's largest event in Colombia was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake near San Andrés, Colombia on 11 March 2025 at 08:32 UTC. A magnitude 5.4 earthquake radiates roughly 1,898 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Colombia monthly average of 5 events over the period we cover, and level with the 4 recorded the previous month.
50% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 50% 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 2 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.4 near San Andrés, Colombia on 11 March at 10 km; M5.0 near Mosquera, Colombia on 01 March at 10 km; M4.5 near Villanueva, Colombia on 15 March at 160 km.
That is 12% below the 5 events Colombia averages per month across the 21 months on record.
