People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Mexico, Mexico City, 746 km (463 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry28 km (18 mi)NE of epicenterCosta Azul(pop: 139)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico31 km (19 mi)N of epicenterLa Conquista(pop: 473)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico33 km (21 mi)E of epicenterEl Palmarcito(pop: 1,140)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico39 km (24 mi)NE of epicenterLa Piaña(pop: 118)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico41 km (26 mi)NE of epicenterSan Isidro(pop: 1,630)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico43 km (27 mi)N of epicenterFrancisco I.

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]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Oct 5, 2025 03:04 am (Universal Time)22 minutes ago4.083 km0 km - This quakeNear Coast of Chiapas, MexicoMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 733 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.17 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 6 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 3.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 180 quakes per year (or 15 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 729 quakes per year (or 61 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 732 quakes per year (or 61 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
