| Abstract: | The Abruzzo earthquake hit the city of L'Aquila and its surroundings on the 6th April 2009. A magnitude Mw=6.3 (Ms=6.3, ML=6.2, INGV) normal faulting earthquake struck the Abruzzo Region located in the central part of Italy, with an epicentre of shallow focal depth (9.5 km, coordinates 42.348 N, 13.380 E) very close to L'Aquila, a city of about 73,000 inhabitants. This main event was the strongest of a sequence which had started a few months earlier, releasing 23 earthquakes of Mw>4 between March 30th, 2009 and April 23rd, including major aftershocks. |
