A Week of Tremors: Global Earthquake Activity Highlights
This past week, from October 17th to October 24th, 2025, saw a moderate level of global seismic activity, with a total of 137 events above magnitude 4. The most active regions included Indonesia with 23 tremors, followed by Russia with 19, and the Philippines with 12 events. While no M7+ earthquakes were recorded, several significant M5+ events occurred, notably a M5.9 near Costa Rica and M5.8 in the Philippines, reflecting continued tectonic unrest in these well-known seismic zones.

Magnitude Distribution
The majority of earthquakes this week fell within the mid-range magnitudes, with the 4.5–4.8 and 4.8–5.2 bins accounting for over 60% of all events. There were no M6.0+ earthquakes recorded, but a notable number of M5.0+ tremors, including the M5.9 in Costa Rica, underscore the continued seismic energy release across various fault lines.
Temporal Observations
Examining the hourly distribution of tremors reveals a peak in activity between 22:00 and 23:00 UTC, suggesting a diurnal pattern in detectability or actual event occurrence. Other notable periods of increased seismic events were observed in the late afternoon UTC and early morning hours.

Earthquake Magnitude Categories
Earthquake magnitudes are measured on a logarithmic scale, where each whole number represents a tenfold increase in the earthquake’s power. Below are the categories and their impacts:
Micro (Less than 3.0)
- Typically not felt by people.
- Detectable only by sensitive seismographs.
Minor (3.0 – 3.9)
- Often felt but rarely causes damage.
Light (4.0 – 4.9)
- Noticeable shaking of indoor items and rattling noises.
- Significant damage is unlikely.
Moderate (5.0 – 5.9)
- Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings in small regions.
- Well-designed buildings may experience slight damage.
Strong (6.0 – 6.9)
- Potentially destructive within 160 kilometers (100 miles) in populated areas.
Major (7.0 – 7.9)
- Capable of causing serious damage over larger areas.
- Major earthquakes that can destroy populated regions.
Great (8.0 or Higher)
- Causes tremendous damage, impacting areas several hundred kilometers across.
- Can trigger tsunamis and permanently alter landscape features.
Note: Negative magnitudes represent extremely small earthquakes, detectable only by sensitive instruments.
