The month's largest event in Saudi Arabia was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Ad Darb, Saudi Arabia on 07 October 2025 at 10:10 UTC. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake radiates roughly 120 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Saudi Arabia 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 1 in the magnitude 4 range.
That is 67% below the 3 events Saudi Arabia averages per month across the 3 months on record.
