Earthquake in Piauí, Brazil

On the afternoon of this Monday (16), Piauí recorded its first earthquake of 2025. The seismic shock, with a magnitude of 2.3, had its epicenter near the municipality of Elesbão Veloso, according to the Brazilian Seismographic Network.

The last tremor in the state occurred in October 2024, in the city of Domingos Mourão. In recent days, other similar occurrences have also been recorded in different parts of the Northeast — three in Pernambuco and one in Ceará, all on Saturday (14).

Despite causing concern, these low-magnitude quakes are considered natural. They result from the release of accumulated tensions in the Earth's crust and generally do not pose significant risks.
