On Tuesday 23 April 2024 at 20:45 an earthquake of magnitude 1.8 and depth 7.9 km was recorded in 2 km NE Mazzarrà Sant'Andrea (ME). 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 20:45 on 23 April 2024 with epicenter 2 km NE Mazzarrà Sant'Andrea (ME), having a depth of 7.9 km is therefore classified as superficial.
Being of magnitude 1.8, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
