What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 was recorded at a depth of 111 km, near Gorontalo, on 11/10 at 21:34 UTC. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
The hypocentre is at intermediate depth, 111 km.
An earthquake in this moderate range is typically felt by many people as a brief shaking or jolt, but it usually causes little or no damage, especially when its origin lies far below the surface, since the energy spreads out before reaching the ground. Local effects still depend on buildings and soil conditions. Earthquakes like this are often followed by smaller aftershocks, because the rock along the fault adjusts as it settles into a new balance after the slip. For official guidance, please refer to Protezione Civile and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
