Earthquakes in the Northern Mariana Islands — November 2026

1 earthquakes were recorded in the Northern Mariana Islands during November 2026, an average of 0.0 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 the Northern Mariana Islands was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake near San Jose Village, Northern Mariana Islands on 02 November 2026 at 19:59 UTC. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake radiates roughly 85 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the the Northern Mariana Islands monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 3 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 4 range.

That is 69% below the 3 events the Northern Mariana Islands averages per month across the 23 months on record.
