Earthquake data at a glance
M5.8 · 10.0 km deep · 253 km ENE of Davao, Philippines
Magnitude 5.8 (mww) was reported for this earthquake.
Reported depth: 10.0 km (shallow, 0–70 km).
The epicentre was 253 km ENE of Davao, Philippines.
USGS significance score: 518. USGS calculates this number from magnitude, maximum intensity, felt reports and estimated impact; it is not a risk rating.
No felt reports or intensity data have been published for this event.
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.
Regional background: the Philippines
General information about earthquakes in this region. It is not a measurement or assessment of this earthquake.
The Philippines is squeezed between the Philippine Sea plate to the east and the Sunda (Eurasian) plate to the west. The Philippine Sea plate subducts westwards at the Philippine Trench and East Luzon Trough, while on the western side the Sunda plate and smaller plates subduct eastwards at the Manila, Negros, Sulu and Cotabato trenches.
Most damaging Philippine earthquakes are shallow, occurring on crustal faults or the upper part of the subduction zones. Intermediate-depth earthquakes, roughly 70 to 300 km, also occur where the subducting plates descend beneath the islands, particularly under Mindanao and the Visayas.
Official monitoring: PHIVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology).
