deep
(hypocenter between 300 and 720 km deep). The earthquake that occurred at 01:24 on 9 May 2024 with epicenter 6 km SE Casola Valsenio (RA), having a depth of 23 km is therefore classified as superficial.
Being of magnitude 2.4, 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.
