What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 was recorded at a depth of 83 km, near Severo-Kuril’sk, on 11/10 at 17:00 UTC. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
The hypocentre is at intermediate depth, 83 km.
An earthquake in this magnitude range is considered moderate. It is strong enough to be felt by many people nearby, but it usually causes limited effects, especially when it occurs deep underground. Deeper earthquakes spread their energy through a larger volume of rock before it reaches the surface, so the ground shaking is typically weaker and more diffuse than from shallower events of similar size. Such earthquakes are often followed by smaller aftershocks, as the surrounding rock adjusts after the initial movement along the fault. For official guidance, please refer to Protezione Civile and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
