What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 was recorded at a depth of 91 km, near Port Blair, on 12/10 at 15:37 UTC. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
The hypocentre is at intermediate depth, 91 km.
An earthquake in this magnitude range is considered moderate. It is often felt by people nearby, and it can make objects rattle, but it usually does not cause serious damage. Because this one originated deep underground, its seismic waves lose energy as they travel toward the surface, which typically produces gentler shaking spread over a wider area. Earthquakes like this can be followed by smaller aftershocks, because the surrounding rock keeps adjusting after the sudden slip along a fault. For official guidance, please refer to the Protezione Civile and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
