Earthquakes in Venezuela — September 2025

6 earthquakes were recorded in Venezuela during September 2025, an average of 0.2 per day.

6 reached magnitude 4 or above and 4 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 12 km.

The month's largest event in Venezuela was a magnitude 6.4 earthquake near Mene Grande, Venezuela on 25 September 2025 at 03:51 UTC. A magnitude 6.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60,036 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Venezuela monthly average of 3 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 2 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range, 3 in the magnitude 6 range.

Activity peaked on 25 September, when 5 events were recorded.

2 event(s) this month carry a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information; the flag does not indicate whether a tsunami occurred.

The month's largest events were M6.4 near Mene Grande, Venezuela on 25 September at 10 km; M6.3 near Mene Grande, Venezuela on 25 September at 14 km; M6.2 near Mene Grande, Venezuela on 24 September at 8 km.

That is 120% above the 3 events Venezuela averages per month across the 15 months on record.
