Earthquakes in Saint Pierre and Miquelon
No events have been recorded in Saint Pierre and Miquelon in the past 30 days, though the great majority are too small to be felt at the surface. Activity here is almost entirely crustal, which means shaking at the surface is strong relative to the magnitudes involved.
1 earthquakes have been recorded in Saint Pierre and Miquelon in our catalogue, 0 of them in the past 30 days.
The average magnitude is 4.2 and the average focal depth 10 km. 1 event reached magnitude 4 or above, but none reached magnitude 5.
The strongest earthquake recorded in Saint Pierre and Miquelon in this period was a magnitude 4.2 event near Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon on 30 June 2026, at a depth of 10 km. A magnitude 4.2 earthquake radiates roughly 30 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
Locations recording the most events include Saint-Pierre (1).
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.
No event in this record carries a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information.
