The Korea Meteorological Administration announced that an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.5 occurred in an area 17km north of Jangsu-gun, Jeollabuk-do, around 7:07 pm on the 29th. The epicenter is 35.81 degrees north latitude and 127.53 degrees east longitude. The depth of the epicenter was estimated to be 6 km.
In the first place, an automatic analysis of the P wave, which is the fastest among seismic waves, determined that the magnitude was 4.1먹튀검증, and emergency text messages were sent nationwide. The magnitude of the earthquake was adjusted to 3.5 after further analysis.
The instrument seismic intensity, which refers to the level of shaking felt in each region, was the highest at 5 in Jeonbuk, where the earthquake occurred. It means that most people felt the vibration. In Gyeongnam, Chungnam, and Chungbuk, the gauge intensity was 3, and in Gyeongbuk, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Jeonnam, it was 2.
Gauge seismic intensity 3 is ‘the degree to which people inside, especially on the upper floors of buildings noticeably shake, and stopped cars slightly shake’, and ‘2’ refers to ‘the degree to which a small number of people in a quiet state or on the upper floors of buildings feel shaking’.
This earthquake is the third largest among earthquakes that occurred on the Korean Peninsula and in the surrounding waters this year. There were 10 earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.0 or higher that occurred on the Korean Peninsula and in the surrounding waters this year.
There was one earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0 or higher (on May 15, in the sea area 52 km northeast of Donghae-si, Gangwon-do), and the remaining nine were 3.0 or more and less than 4.0. Broadening the range beyond magnitude 2.0, there have been a total of 59 earthquakes this year.
According to the Jeonbuk Provincial Fire Headquarters, four 119 reports were received immediately after the earthquake occurred. All of them said, “I felt a vibration,” and it was found that it was not a report of damage.
Mr. Kim (67), who lives about 2 km away from the town of Jangsu , said, “I was sitting on the floor of my house, and the floor was shaking so much that my hips moved twice.” “It is expected that the number of cases will increase further,” he said.
