Place: 5 km S Crotone (KR).

Earthquake in 5 km S Crotone (KR).

On Monday 8 May 2023 at 16:35:00 an earthquake of magnitude 3.4 and depth 30 km was recorded in 5 km S Crotone (KR). 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 occurred at 16:35:00 on May 8, 2023, with epicenter 5 km S Crotone (KR), having a depth of 30 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 3.4, 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.
