Description
On 1 January 2024, at 16:10 local time, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.
The United States Geological Survey reported a moment magnitude of 7.4 and focal depth of 10 km (6.2 mi) for the earthquake. The focal mechanism of the mainshock corresponded to shallow reverse faulting along a northeast-trending plane dipping northwest or southeast. The Japan Meteorological Agency said it recorded a maximum seismic intensity of 7 on its seismic intensity scale. It is the highest seismic intensity level on the scale of zero to seven. A magnitude 6.2 aftershock struck nine minutes later.
