Questions & Answers

Questions readers often have about this USGS earthquake report.

How strong was this earthquake? ▾
A magnitude 3.0 mb_lg earthquake occurred 4 km west of Bogue, Kansas, and was felt by 4 people.
What does a magnitude 3.0 ("Minor") earthquake mean? ▾
The USGS classifies M3.0 as "Minor" on its Earthquake Hazards Program scale. Events in this range are rarely felt beyond the immediate epicenter and typically cause no damage; most are recorded only by seismographs.
Is this earthquake stronger or weaker than others in the archive? ▾
This is the #1,694 strongest of the 1,838 earthquake reports in Areazine's archive by magnitude, stronger than 1% of them and weaker than 1,693 others.
Was Bogue likely to feel this earthquake? ▾
This event was centered 4 km W of Bogue. Shaking intensity falls off sharply with distance from the epicenter and depends on depth and local geology, so check the USGS "Did You Feel It?" report for this event for real felt-shaking data rather than assuming from magnitude and distance alone.
