General information: magnitude measures the energy released at the source on a logarithmic scale — each whole number is roughly 32 times more energy. Depth is how far below the surface the rupture began. Whether an earthquake is felt, and how strongly, depends on many factors and is best shown by felt reports and intensity data.
The epicentre was located at 14.2866 latitude and 145.4729 longitude, 77 km SSW of San Jose Village, Northern Mariana Islands. The earthquake was intermediate-depth at 110.8 km depth.
