What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 was recorded at a depth of 72 km, near 46 km al NORTE de STA MARIA ATZOMPA, OAX, on 28/10 at 08:46 UTC. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
Within 50 km of the epicentre, 2 events were recorded in the last 30 days (maximum magnitude 3.2). It is the strongest quake in the area in the last 30 days. The hypocentre is at intermediate depth, 72 km.
An earthquake of this size is considered minor, and it is usually felt only lightly, if at all, by people very close to where it occurred. Because it started well below the surface, its energy spreads out before reaching the ground, which generally keeps the shaking weak. Quakes like this rarely cause any damage, though some people may notice a brief vibration or hear a faint rumble. Small earthquakes can sometimes be followed by a few even weaker tremors as the surrounding rock adjusts after releasing stress. For official guidance, please refer to Protezione Civile and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
