An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred in the afternoon on Friday, December 30th, 2022, at 4:53 pm local time near Minas de Marcona, Provincia de Nazca, Region Ica, Peru, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.3 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.5.Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.In Hacienda Ullujaya (pop. 250) located 50 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.Weak shaking might have been felt in Minas de Marcona (pop. 15,500) located 67 km from the epicenter, San Juan de Marcona (pop. 12,800) 70 km away, Palpa (pop. 5,900) 79 km away, Nazca (pop. 23,600) 86 km away, Santiago (pop. 10,400) 94 km away, and Ica (pop. 246,800) 107 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
