Over the past 30 days, Mexico has recorded 9 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 2 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. The remaining 7 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 9 shallow (<70 km). 5 of the epicenters were offshore. Focal depths ranged from 5.0 km to 10.0 km. All 9 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
Leading the list is a magnitude 4.1 event near Revilla Gigedo Islands region at 10.0 km depth. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 4.1 near 271 km WSW of La Cruz de Loreto, Mexico, trails by 0.0 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 3.0 earthquake near 103 km ENE of Hércules, Mexico.
