Earthquakes in Honduras — March 2025
2 earthquakes were recorded in Honduras during March 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Honduras was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Savannah Bight, Honduras on 15 March 2025 at 05:11 UTC. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Honduras monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover, and down from the 9 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 1 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.8 near Savannah Bight, Honduras on 15 March at 10 km; M3.5 near Villa Nueva, Honduras on 19 March at 10 km.
That is 14% below the 2 events Honduras averages per month across the 9 months on record.
