The earthquake had a focal mechanism corresponding to a dip-slip fault. [4] The United States Geological Survey reported that the earthquake's magnitude was M ww 7.0, [2] while GEOSCOPE reported the earthquake as M w 7.2 at a depth of 39 km (24 mi), [4] while the GCMT reported the event as M w 7.1. [1]
The earthquake measured 7.6 on the W-phase moment magnitude (M ww ) scale at a depth of 116.0 km (72 mi) by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). [3] Meanwhile, GEOSCOPE measured it at moment magnitude 7.7 (M w ) at a depth of 39 km (24 mi) while the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre measured it at 7.6 (M w ) with a depth of 80 km (50 mi).
