Earthquakes in Pakistan — February 2025
2 earthquakes were recorded in Pakistan during February 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
2 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 30 km.
The month's largest event in Pakistan was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Rawalpindi, Pakistan on 15 February 2025 at 17:48 UTC. A magnitude 4.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Pakistan monthly average of 3 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 2 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.7 near Rawalpindi, Pakistan on 15 February at 49 km; M4.4 near Mingora, Pakistan on 20 February at 10 km.
That is 37% below the 3 events Pakistan averages per month across the 19 months on record.
