The month's largest event in Colombia was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake near Sipí, Colombia on 03 September 2026 at 05:17 UTC. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake radiates roughly 85 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 13 recorded the previous month.
0% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 100% 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.
