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 02:33:00 on October 2, 2024, with epicenter 1 km SW Novara di Sicilia (ME), having a depth of 7.2 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 1.4, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
