Earthquakes in Turkey — February 2025
2 earthquakes were recorded in Turkey 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 10 km.
The month's largest event in Turkey was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Yedisu, Turkey on 15 February 2025 at 23:24 UTC. A magnitude 4.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Turkey monthly average of 6 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 4 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 2 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.7 near Yedisu, Turkey on 15 February at 10 km; M4.3 near Doğanyol, Turkey on 17 February at 11 km.
That is 68% below the 6 events Turkey averages per month across the 21 months on record.
