February 9, 2024, 09:47:00: Earthquake in 8 km E Matera (MT)

Earthquakes with magnitude 1.5 felt at 09:47:00 on February 9, 2024.
Place: 8 km E Matera (MT).

Earthquake in Basilicata. Earthquake in the province of Matera.

On Friday 9 February 2024 at 09:47:00 an earthquake of magnitude 1.5 and depth 8 km was recorded in 8 km E Matera (MT). 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 09:47:00 on February 9, 2024, with epicenter 8 km E Matera (MT), having a depth of 8 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 1.5, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
