On Wednesday 8 January 2025 at 12:02:00 an earthquake of magnitude 2 and depth 25.8 km was recorded in 3 km W Pavullo nel Frignano (MO). 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 12:02:00 on January 8, 2025, with epicenter 3 km W Pavullo nel Frignano (MO), having a depth of 25.8 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 2, 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.
