Earthquakes in Venezuela — December 2025

The month's largest event in Venezuela was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Mene Grande, Venezuela on 02 December 2025 at 04:48 UTC. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake radiates roughly 120 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Venezuela monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet 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.
The month's largest events were M4.6 near Mene Grande, Venezuela on 02 December at 10 km; M4.5 near Pueblo Nuevo, Venezuela on 08 December at 10 km.
