According to data from the Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics at the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, 44,758 earthquakes were recorded across Mongolia and its border regions in 2024. Of these, 22,609 occurred within Mongolia’s territory.

The majority of these seismic events had a magnitude of one or less, with 20,149 incidents reported. There were 5,607 earthquakes with a magnitude of two, 341 with a magnitude of three, and 39 with a magnitude of four. Notably, three earthquakes of magnitude five and one of magnitude six were also recorded. Also, 43 seismic events registered a magnitude of 3.5 or higher.

In Ulaanbaatar, 747 earthquakes were documented last year. Of these, 595 had a magnitude of one or less, 140 had a magnitude of two, and 11 registered a magnitude of three. One earthquake with a magnitude of four was also recorded.

Arkhangai, Bayankhongor, Khuvsgul and Umnugovi provinces were identified as the most seismically active regions in the country.

Seismologists gathered this data using a network of earthquake monitoring stations strategically placed across Mongolia, which continuously track and analyze seismic activity. Experts urge ongoing public awareness and preparedness measures, given the country’s susceptibility to frequent earthquakes.
