The month's largest event in Colombia was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Jordán, Colombia on 18 April 2025 at 10:31 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Colombia monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover, and up from the 4 recorded the previous month.
20% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 80% 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 4 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
Activity peaked on 18 April, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M5.2 near Jordán, Colombia on 18 April at 151 km; M4.8 near Jordán, Colombia on 18 April at 172 km; M4.8 near Santa Genoveva de Docordó, Colombia on 23 April at 25 km.
