Earthquakes in Taiwan — November 2025
7 earthquakes were recorded in Taiwan during November 2025, an average of 0.2 per day.
7 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 12 km.
The month's largest event in Taiwan was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Yujing, Taiwan on 10 November 2025 at 05:00 UTC. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake radiates roughly 674 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Taiwan monthly average of 7 events over the period we cover, and up from the 6 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 6 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
Activity peaked on 19 November, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M5.1 near Yujing, Taiwan on 10 November at 11 km; M4.7 near Yilan, Taiwan on 14 November at 10 km; M4.6 near Hualien City, Taiwan on 19 November at 12 km.
That is close to the 7 events Taiwan averages per month across the 21 months on record.
