The 2013 Bohol earthquake occurred on October 15 at 8:12:31 PST in Bohol, an island province located in Central Visayas, Philippines. [9] The magnitude of the earthquake was recorded at M w 7.2, with epicenter 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) S 24° W of Sagbayan, and its depth of focus was 12 kilometres (7.5 mi).
The 2013 Bohol earthquake was a deadly event which happened on 15 October, striking the provinces of Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Masbate and Leyte. The M w 7.2 earthquake produced a ~50-km-long, ~12-km-wide northeast trending zone of uplift with an ~8-km-long discontinuous ground rupture indicating predominantly reverse-slip movement on a ...
Seismic intensity scales categorize the intensity or severity of ground shaking (quaking) at a given location, such as resulting from an earthquake. They are distinguished from seismic magnitude scales , which measure the magnitude or overall strength of an earthquake, which may, or perhaps may not, cause perceptible shaking.

For example, a magnitude 7.0 quake in Salta, Argentina, in 2011, that was 576.8 km deep, had a maximum felt intensity of V, [19] while a magnitude 2.2 event in Barrow in Furness, England, in 1865, about 1 km deep, had a maximum felt intensity of VIII. [20] The small table is a rough guide to the degrees of the MMI scale.
It was followed by dozens of aftershocks of magnitude 2.5 and up, including a magnitude 4.5 earthquake that occurred less than a minute after the first, and a magnitude 4.1 temblor at 9:17 p.m.
Before Saturday, the last earthquake in this area of magnitude 3 or greater was almost exactly a week ago — a magnitude 3.1 earthquake just north of Malibu, which hit on Sept. 21 at 2:15 p.m.
A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck south of Mindanao in the Philippines, at a depth of 98.2 km. [31] A magnitude 4.8 earthquake struck Lazio, Italy on February 16 at a depth of 10.7 km (6.6 mi). [32] One person died of a heart-attack and many buildings were damaged. [33] [34]
