Place: 6 km N Adrano (CT).

Earthquake in Sicilia. Earthquake in the province of Catania.

On Wednesday 8 January 2025 at 01:01:00 an earthquake of magnitude 1.6 and depth 11.2 km was recorded in 6 km N Adrano (CT). Further info on the INGV webpage by clicking here.

Based on the depth of the hypocenter, earthquakes are classified into superficial (hypocenter between 0 e 70 and deep), intermediate (Hypocenter between 70 and 300 km deep) and deep (hypocenter between 300 and 720 km deep). The earthquake occurred at 01:01:00 on January 8, 2025, with epicenter 6 km N Adrano (CT), having a depth of 11.2 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 1.6, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
