Earthquakes in the United States — November 2026
2 earthquakes were recorded in the United States during November 2026, an average of 0.1 per day.
0 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 13 km.
The month's largest event in the United States was a magnitude 2.3 earthquake near Denali National Park, United States on 01 November 2026 at 00:13 UTC. A magnitude 2.3 earthquake radiates roughly 43 kg of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the the United States monthly average of 6920 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 6503 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 1 in the magnitude 1 range, 1 in the magnitude 2 range.
Activity peaked on 01 November, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M2.3 near Denali National Park, United States on 01 November at 5 km; M1.9 near Meadow Lakes, United States on 01 November at 22 km.
That is 100% below the 6920 events the United States averages per month across the 24 months on record.
