4.2 quake 30 Jul 9:58 am (GMT +1)
According to Spain's Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), the quake hit on Friday 30 July 2021 at 9:58 am local time at a very shallow depth of 4 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the United States Geological Survey which listed the quake at magnitude 4.6. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.6, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.3.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Al Hoceima (pop. 395,600) located 33 km from the epicenter, Tirhanimîne (pop. 55,800) 35 km away, Imzouren (pop. 40,000) 36 km away, and Bni Bouayach (pop. 18,300) 39 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Nador (pop. 129,300) located 69 km from the epicenter, Al Aaroui (pop. 36,000) 72 km away, and Zaïo (pop. 30,000) 97 km away.
