The month's largest event in Türkiye was a magnitude 4.1 earthquake near Antalya, Türkiye on 30 December 2024 at 02:25 UTC. A magnitude 4.1 earthquake radiates roughly 21 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Türkiye monthly average of 2 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 50% below the 2 events Türkiye averages per month across the 2 months on record.
