deep
(hypocenter between 300 and 720 km deep). The earthquake that occurred at 22:02 on 30 April 2024 with epicenter 3 km NW Rotonda (PZ), having a depth of 15.1 km is therefore classified as superficial.
Being of magnitude 2.9, therefore between 2 and 3, this earthquake is classified as "very light". This type of earthquake is not
generally felt, but recorded only by seismographs.
