Earthquakes in Mongolia — March 2025

1 earthquakes were recorded in Mongolia during March 2025, an average of 0.0 per day.

1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.

The month's largest event in Mongolia was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Dalandzadgad, Mongolia on 21 March 2025 at 09:33 UTC. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake radiates roughly 674 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the Mongolia monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet 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 5 range.

That is 38% below the 2 events Mongolia averages per month across the 5 months on record.
