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 06:16 on 20 April 2024 with epicenter 2 km S Brindisi Montagna (PZ), having a depth of 23.6 km is therefore classified as superficial.
Being of magnitude 1.6, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
