Earthquake List
NB: The official magnitude for this
earthquake is indicated at the top of this page. This was the best
available estimate of the earthquake's size, at the time that this
page was created. Other magnitudes associated with web pages linked
from here are those determined at various times following the
earthquake with different types of seismic data. Although, given the
data used, they are legitimate estimates of magnitude, they are not
considered the official magnitude.
The region name is an automatically generated name from the
Flinn-Engdahl (F-E) seismic and geographical regionalization scheme.
The boundaries of these regions are defined at one-degree intervals
and therefore differ from irregular political boundaries. More->
