Place: 5 km W Langhirano (PR).

Earthquake in Emilia-Romagna. Earthquake in the province of Parma.

On Friday 9 February 2024 at 13:06:00 an earthquake of magnitude 4.2 and depth 18.9 km was recorded in 5 km W Langhirano (PR). 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 13:06:00 on February 9, 2024, with epicenter 5 km W Langhirano (PR), having a depth of 18.9 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 4.2, therefore between 4 and 5, this earthquake is classified as "light". This type of earthquake generates noticeable oscillations for interior items, but structural damage to buildings is rare.
