The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 17, 2026 06:07 am (GMT -6)34 minutes ago4.432 km0 km - This quakeNorth Pacific Ocean, 97 km S of Leon, Departamento de Leon, NicaraguaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 683 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.04 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 25 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.29 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.4 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 3.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 59 quakes per year (or 4.9 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 340 quakes per year (or 28.3 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 666 quakes per year (or 55 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 682 quakes per year (or 57 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity.
