Earthquakes in Indonesia — July 2025

88 earthquakes were recorded in Indonesia during July 2025, an average of 2.8 per day.

87 reached magnitude 4 or above and 25 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 79 km.

The month's largest event in Indonesia was a magnitude 6.7 earthquake near Tual, Indonesia on 14 July 2025 at 05:49 UTC. A magnitude 6.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169,203 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Indonesia monthly average of 70 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 58 recorded the previous month.

67% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 30% intermediate (70–300 km) and 3% 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 1 in the magnitude 3 range, 62 in the magnitude 4 range, 20 in the magnitude 5 range, 5 in the magnitude 6 range.

Activity peaked on 14 July, when 10 events were recorded.

2 event(s) this month carry a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information; the flag does not indicate whether a tsunami occurred.

The month's largest events were M6.7 near Tual, Indonesia on 14 July at 80 km; M6.7 near Tual, Indonesia on 14 July at 80 km; M6.7 near Tual, Indonesia on 14 July at 66 km.

That is 26% above the 70 events Indonesia averages per month across the 21 months on record.
