The latest report on global seismic activity reveals a notable series of earthquakes recorded on November 25, 2025. In a 24-hour period leading up to November 26, a total of 584 earthquakes were documented worldwide. Among these, three quakes reached a magnitude of 5.0 or higher, with an additional 34 registering at 4.0 or above.
The detailed breakdown of the seismic events observed is as follows:
– Magnitude 5.0 and above: 3 earthquakes
– Magnitude 4.0 and above: 34 earthquakes
– Magnitude 3.0 and above: 195 earthquakes
– Magnitude 2.0 and above: 352 earthquakes
Notably, there were no recorded earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.0 or greater during this time frame. The cumulative energy released from these seismic occurrences is estimated to be around 3.5 x 10^13 joules, which is roughly equivalent to 9.79 gigawatt hours of energy or approximately 8,427 tons of TNT.
Among the significant earthquakes on November 25 were:
– A magnitude 5.4 quake near Kumamoto, Japan, occurring at 06:01 PM GMT, located 50 kilometers southwest of Oita.
– A second magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck Davao, Philippines, at 06:45 PM GMT, situated 75 kilometers south of Mati.
– A magnitude 5.0 quake was detected in the North Pacific Ocean at 03:47 PM GMT, 123 kilometers southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy.
– An additional magnitude 4.9 quake was registered in the North Pacific Ocean just minutes later.
– A magnitude 4.9 quake occurred in the Bering Sea near Kagamil Island, Alaska, at 08:16 AM GMT.
The earthquakes that were reported as most felt include:
– The magnitude 5.4 quake in Davao, which garnered 48 reports.
– The magnitude 5.4 in Kumamoto, receiving 36 reports.
– A magnitude 3.3 quake near Naples, Italy, with 23 reports.
This ongoing seismic activity underscores the importance of constant monitoring and preparation in affected regions. As communities brace for these natural events, updates will continue to be shared to ensure public safety and awareness.
