What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 was recorded at a depth of 9 km, in the sea area “Tirreno Meridionale”, on 27/10 at 23:09 Italian time. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
Within 50 km of the epicentre, 21 events were recorded in the last 24 hours (maximum magnitude 3.4). Within 50 km of the epicentre, 268 events were recorded in the last 30 days (maximum magnitude 5.7). In the same area, a stronger quake occurred in the last 30 days (magnitude 5.7). The hypocentre is shallow, at a depth of 9 km.
An earthquake in this magnitude range is considered small. It is often felt by some people nearby, but it rarely causes any damage. Shallow quakes tend to feel sharper and more sudden at the surface than deeper ones of similar size, which is why they can seem brief but noticeable. Small aftershocks can follow because the surrounding rock slowly readjusts after the initial release of stress, and these usually fade quickly. For official guidance, please refer to the Civil Protection Department and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
