An earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale jolts 27 km southwest of Wanganui, New Zealand, in the morning

4.2 Earthquake Jan.22 8:02 am (GMT +13)

A 4.2-magnitude earthquake occurred on Friday morning January 22, 2021 at 8:02 a.m. local time near Wanganui, Wanganui District, Manawatu and Wanganui, New Zealand, according to GeoNet, the New Zealand Earthquake and Geological Survey Commission. Preliminary data, the earthquake is located at a depth of 11.8 km shallow. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deep earthquakes because they are closer to the surface. The exact size, focus and depth of an earthquake may be reviewed within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or when other agencies release their report. The center (EMSC), which listed it as a 4.2 magnitude earthquake as well, and based on preliminary seismic data, the earthquake should not have caused any major damage, but many people probably felt it as a slight shaking in the epicenter area. A weak tremor was probably felt in Ratana (population 440) located 26 km from the epicenter, Wanganui (40,300 inhabitants) 27 km away, and Bulls (population 1,800) at 41 km. People probably felt the earthquake because the weak tremor includes Foxton (population 4,800) located 49 km from the epicenter, Pattaya (population 1,300) 56 km away, Levin (population 19,800) 63 km away, Palmerston North (population 76,000) 65 km, and Paraparaumu (25,300 inhabitants) 86 km.
