On Tuesday 16 April 2024 at 18:38 an earthquake of magnitude 3 and depth 48.2 km was recorded in 4 km E San Nicola Arcella (CS). 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 18:38 on 16 April 2024 with epicenter 4 km E San Nicola Arcella (CS), having a depth of 48.2 km is therefore classified as superficial.
Being of magnitude 3, therefore between 3 and 4, this earthquake is classified as "very light". This type of earthquake is often felt, but it generally causes no harm.
