Earthquakes in Fiji — April 2025
11 earthquakes were recorded in Fiji during April 2025, an average of 0.4 per day.
11 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 563 km.
The month's largest event in Fiji was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Levuka, Fiji on 08 April 2025 at 22:10 UTC. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake radiates roughly 120 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Fiji monthly average of 15 events over the period we cover, and down from the 18 recorded the previous month.
0% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 100% deep-focus (over 300 km). That proportion of deep-focus events is the signature of a subduction zone: only a cold slab descending into the mantle stays brittle enough to rupture at those depths.
By band, the catalogue holds 11 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.6 near Levuka, Fiji on 08 April at 644 km; M4.6 near Fiji region on 01 April at 579 km; M4.4 near Levuka, Fiji on 07 April at 552 km.
That is 24% below the 15 events Fiji averages per month across the 21 months on record.
