The earthquake had a magnitude of 8.3 on the moment magnitude scale, it had an estimated depth of 20 kilometers. The earthquake was 75 kilometers South southwest of Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat. [2] A station at Butuan in northern Mindanao registered over 600 aftershocks before the end of August, with 250 recorded by the end of August 16. [1] [6]
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.

The 2002 event (7.5 M w) occurred near the two largest 20th century Philippine earthquakes: the 1918 Celebes Sea earthquake (8.3 M w) and the 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake (8.0 M w). The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the Cotobato Trench; the magnitude of this megathrust earthquake was 7.5, the sixth strongest of the year. [ 2 ]
