On March 25, 2025 at 19:13 UTC, a magnitude 2.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 5 km NW of Terrebonne, Canada, at a depth of 7.8 km and coordinates 45.7290°, -73.6995°. This earthquake was detected by 16 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 66, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 14 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
