What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 was recorded at a depth of 10 km, near Azores-Cabo De San Vicente, on 27/10 at 03:08 UTC. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
The hypocentre is shallow, at a depth of 10 km.
An earthquake in this magnitude range is considered moderate to light. It is often felt by people nearby, especially indoors, but it usually causes little or no damage. Quakes that start within the Earth's upper crust tend to be felt more strongly at the surface than deeper ones of the same size. Events like this are often followed by smaller aftershocks, because the surrounding rock gradually adjusts to its new stress and these follow-up shocks usually become weaker over time. For official guidance, please refer to Protezione Civile and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
