Look up quakes! |
Brazil has relatively few earthquakes. Based on data from the past 54 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 151 quakes on average per year in Brazil. However, Brazil has had at least 11 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.
On average, Brazil has about 34.3 quakes of magnitude 3 or higher per year.
The last earthquake in Brazil occurred 2 days ago and had a magnitude of 1.1:
A light magnitude 1.1 earthquake hit 657 km (409 mi) away from Bogota, Bogota, Colombia, in the evening of Tuesday, Apr 16, 2024 at 9.34 pm local time (America/Bogota GMT -5). The quake had a very shallow depth of 10 km (6 mi) and was too small to be felt by people.
In the past 30 days, Brazil has been shaken by 1 quake of magnitude 5.1, 1 quake of magnitude , and 8 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There have been also 3 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.
