On Wednesday 18 December 2024 at 23:08:00 an earthquake of magnitude 1.2 and depth 12.3 km was recorded in 5 km NW Muccia (MC). 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 23:08:00 on December 18, 2024, with epicenter 5 km NW Muccia (MC), having a depth of 12.3 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 1.2, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
