The depth of the quake could not be determined, but is assumed to be shallow.The quake was felt by many near the epicenter. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in the Philippines | Davao | Soccsksargen | Autonomous Region in Muslim MindanaoHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Strong magnitude 5.6 earthquake at unknown depth13 Aug 09:25 UTC: First to report: VolcanoDiscovery after 3 minutes.13 Aug 09:28: Now using data updates from BMKG13 Aug 09:29: Magnitude recalculated from 5.9 to 5.6.

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt2437–1,152 km (272–716 mi)795 km (494 mi)II: Very weak shaking1108–108 km (67–67 mi)108 km (67 mi)III: Weak shaking371–542 km (44–337 mi)247 km (154 mi)IV: Light shaking946–140 km (29–87 mi)95 km (59 mi)V: Moderate shaking488–91 km (55–57 mi)90 km (56 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (19 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!
