Earthquakes in Türkiye — January 2025
3 earthquakes were recorded in Türkiye during January 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
3 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 17 km.
The month's largest event in Türkiye was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake near Antalya, Türkiye on 03 January 2025 at 13:51 UTC. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake radiates roughly 85 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is well above the Türkiye monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 1 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 3 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.5 near Antalya, Türkiye on 03 January at 32 km; M4.5 near Erzurum, Türkiye on 08 January at 10 km; M4.1 near Hatay, Türkiye on 10 January at 10 km.
That is 50% above the 2 events Türkiye averages per month across the 2 months on record.
This month also holds the strongest earthquake recorded in Türkiye in our entire catalogue.
