昨天午后2点悉尼有3.1级的地震

霁雪

一点也没有感觉到。今天才看到报导。离开我住的地方大约有70公里吧。不过下午两点，我应该是在女儿家中，又近了5公里。也没有感觉到。



A small earthquake has struck the Appin region about 75 kilometres south-west of Sydney.

The 3.1 magnitude tremor just north of Douglas Park happened at 2.05pm on Sunday afternoon, at approximately 3 kilometres below the earth's crust.

A senior seismologist with Geoscience Australia, Hadi Ghasemi, described it as a shallow event.

"We generally consider it a small earthquake," Mr Ghasemi said.

"For people close to the epicentre, it would have felt like a short, sharp movement followed by a few more … which pass very quickly."

He said the event was unlikely to have caused any damage to buildings or other structures.

In comments on Facebook, local residents reported feeling their homes rattle and shake.

So far, no aftershocks have been registered.

Mr Ghasemi said at least 48 similar quakes had occurred within a 100-kilometre radius of the earthquake's epicentre during the past 10 years.

"All of the events we registered, they were all small and shallow," he said.

悉尼西南约 75 公里的 Appin 地区发生小地震。

道格拉斯公园以北的 3.1 级地震发生在周日下午 2 点 05 分，地震发生在地壳以下约 3 公里处。

澳大利亚地球科学部的资深地震学家哈迪·加塞米 (Hadi Ghasemi) 将其描述为浅层地震。

“我们通常认为这是一场小地震，”加塞米先生说。

“对于靠近震中的人来说，感觉就像是一次短暂而剧烈的运动，然后又发生了几次……很快就过去了。”

他说，该事件不太可能对建筑物或其他结构造成任何损坏。

在 Facebook 上的评论中，当地居民报告说他们感到自己的房屋嘎嘎作响。

到目前为止，还没有记录到余震。

加塞米先生说，在过去 10 年中，在地震震中 100 公里半径范围内至少发生了 48 次类似地震。

“我们记录的所有事件，都是小而浅的，”他说。
