What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 was recorded at a depth of 14 km, near El Cacao, on 10/10 at 16:05 UTC. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
Within 50 km of the epicentre, 29 events were recorded in the last 24 hours (maximum magnitude 7.7). Within 50 km of the epicentre, 29 events were recorded in the last 30 days (maximum magnitude 7.7). In the same area, a stronger quake occurred in the last 30 days (magnitude 7.7). The hypocentre is shallow, at a depth of 14 km.
An earthquake in this range is considered moderate. It is often clearly felt by people nearby, but it usually causes only limited effects, and shocks of this size are fairly common around the world. Because the source lies in the Earth's crust, the shaking can be noticeable over a relatively small area and tends to weaken quickly with distance. Smaller aftershocks often follow as the rock readjusts after the main movement, and they generally become less frequent over the following hours and days. For official guidance and updates, please refer to Protezione Civile and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
