On Saturday 15 April 2023 at 07:32 an earthquake of magnitude 2 and depth 24.1 km was recorded in 1 km SW Montagano (CB). 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 that occurred at 07:32 on 15 April 2023 with epicenter 1 km SW Montagano (CB), having a depth of 24.1 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.
