Earthquakes can occur in any region, but Philadelphia is located in a relatively seismically stable area. The city is not known for experiencing significant or frequent earthquake activity. However, small earthquakes, typically with magnitudes less than 3, can occasionally occur in the region, but they are rare and generally go unnoticed by residents.
