According to NIED, the quake hit on Monday 1 February 2021 at 11:30 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 9.2 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface.Mon, 01 Feb 2021 15:48:00 +0100volcanodiscovery-79e43eb02a30f57b7d9874ec33aa6bf420210201154800https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquake/news/120679/Magnitude-43-earthquake-strikes-near-Iwaki-Iwaki-shi-Fukushima-Japan.htmlAn earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred in the afternoon on Monday 1 February 2021 at 5:34 pm local time near Iwaki, Iwaki-shi, Fukushima, Japan, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 30 km.Mon, 01 Feb 2021 10:14:00 +0100volcanodiscovery-bb30604b8e00f26c180622dcc00a458420210201101400https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/quake-info/6081213/mag4quake-Feb-1-2021-OFF-EAST-COAST-OF-HONSHU-JAPAN.htmlAn earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred in the afternoon on Monday 1 February 2021 at 5:34 pm local time near Iwaki, Iwaki-shi, Fukushima, Japan, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).

Geological descriptions of faults range from localized displacement on one or more discrete planes, through to distributed shearing flow in tabular zones of finite thickness, indicating a large range of possible strain rates in natural faults.Mon, 01 Feb 2021 09:44:00 +0100royalsocietypublishing.uk-7a6c9c92e79b8d1308d6eb1f3078f08a20210201094400
