Jan 31 (Reuters) – An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 struck Guyana, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said on Sunday.
The quake occurred at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles), the EMSC added.
Photo – GDACS Disaster Alert Volcano Discovery reports that the quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil, early afternoon on Sunday 31 January 2021 at 3:05 pm local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface.
The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
