Earthquakes in Ecuador — June 2025

6 earthquakes were recorded in Ecuador during June 2025, an average of 0.2 per day.

6 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 25 km.

The month's largest event in Ecuador was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Naranjal, Ecuador on 21 June 2025 at 19:18 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Ecuador monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 5 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 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 17 June, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.2 near Naranjal, Ecuador on 21 June at 51 km; M5.0 near Archidona, Ecuador on 17 June at 6 km; M4.7 near Guayaquil, Ecuador on 27 June at 67 km.

That is 81% above the 3 events Ecuador averages per month across the 19 months on record.
