Aftershocks for this quake

No aftershocks have been recorded so far. When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.

What are aftershocks?

Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.

(More info)

Aftershocks are typically at least one order of magnitude smaller than the main shock. Their size and frequency decreases with time.

What about this quake?

Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface of approx. 1 km² (=0 sqare miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).

(More info)

Aftershocks for this quake can be expected to occur during the days following the quake at or near the same fault, at distances of up to approx. two times the length of the rupture zone, or in this case 3 km (2 mi). The often broadly linear arrangement of aftershock epicenters encompasses the rupture zone of the main shock (see map below).

Earthquake statistics

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 95 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):

• Mag. 7 or higher: 0.14 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 7.1 years)
• Mag. 6 or higher: 0.83 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.2 years)
• Mag. 5 or higher: 5.2 quakes per year
• Mag. 4 or higher: 64 quakes per year (or 5.4 quakes per month)
• Mag. 3 or higher: 90 quakes per year (or 7.5 quakes per month)
• Mag. 2 or higher: 1,900 quakes per year (or 5.2 quakes per day)
• Mag. 1 or higher: 5,400 quakes per year (or 14.7 quakes per day)

The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 17 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.

Number of quakes per year

Previous quakes in the same area of this earthquake

The earthquake occurred 13 hours after a magnitude 4.0 earthquake had hit on Friday, Mar 14, 2025, at 05:44 am local time (Asia/Taipei GMT +8) in 1.1 km (0.7 mi) distance to the north:
The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 7.4. It had occurred 49 weeks earlier, on Wednesday, Apr 3, 2024, at 07:58 am local time (Asia/Taipei GMT +8) in  Taiwan:
The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 8.2. It had occurred 105 years ago earlier, on Saturday, Jun 5, 1920, at 04:21 am local time (Universal Time GMT +0) in Okinawa,  Taiwan:

Below is a list and map of (larger or recent) quakes that had occurred near the area of the epicenter before this earthquake (within up to 100 km/61 mi distance, up to 300 km/183 mi for very large quakes above mag. 7). Filter the list to limit the number to show, by magnitude or time before.
