deep
(hypocenter between 300 and 720 km deep). The earthquake that occurred at 02:54 on 14 April 2024 with epicenter 3 km W Ortucchio (AQ), having a depth of 9 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.
