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).
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.
The Modified Mercalli intensity scale (MM, MMI, or MCS) measures the effects of an earthquake at a given location. This is in contrast with the seismic magnitude usually reported for an earthquake. Magnitude scales measure the inherent force or strength of an earthquake – an event occurring at greater or lesser depth. (The "M w" scale is ...
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 ...

Magnitude is an estimate of the relative "size" or strength of an earthquake, and thus its potential for causing ground-shaking. It is "approximately related to the released seismic energy". [1] Intensity refers to the strength or force of shaking at a given location, and can be related
A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck the Andreanof group of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, on September 4 at a depth of 39.9 km (24.8 mi). [247] A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck the Andreanof group of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, on September 4 at a depth of 32.8 km (20.4 mi). This was an aftershock of the 6.5 earthquake.
