Place: 2 km SE Samo (RC).

Terremoto in Calabria. Terremoto in provincia di Reggio Calabria.

On Monday 15 April 2024 at 18:56 an earthquake of magnitude 2.2 and depth 9.9 km was recorded in 2 km SE Samo (RC). 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 18:56 on 15 April 2024 with epicenter 2 km SE Samo (RC), having a depth of 9.9 km is therefore classified as superficial.
Being of magnitude 2.2, 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.
