M4.9 Earthquake in the Revilla Gigedo Islands region — September 10, 2025
2025-09-10 05:14:20 UTC (2025-09-10) · approx. 10:14 PM UTC-7 local
On September 10, 2025 at 05:14 UTC, a magnitude 4.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck in the Revilla Gigedo Islands region, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 19.2317°, -108.6047°. This earthquake was detected by 85 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 369, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 338 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.4 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
