An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 occurred in Haenam, Jeollanam-do last night at 10: 7, and Jeonnam's largest magnitude was 3.

The magnitude 3 is the level at which a stationary vehicle shakes and people above the building feel vibration.

[Kim Sung-wook / Haenam-gun, Jeonnam: I went to the bathroom, but what was it? I didn't think it was an earthquake.]Although small, there was no damage, but it is unusual for a small earthquake to last for days.

There were similar cases a few years ago in the offshore of Baengnyeongdo and Boryeong, but it happened more in a shorter period of time.

It was also suggested that the reclamation project that changed the sea to agricultural land in 2017 and the work of blasting the surrounding quarries were affected, but it is less relevant as it was conducted on the surface.

[Woo Nam-cheol / Meteorological Agency Seismic Analysis Center: (Ji-jin) It occurred very deeply. It is unreasonable to interpret that the activity on the Earth's surface affected up to 20 km below the ground.] The

fact that an earthquake occurred means that there was a fault, but it hasn't been known as an ocean without an earthquake and it has not been known what fault it was.
However, the Meteorological Administration expects that the earthquakes will be short, as all earthquakes are within 1 km in diameter.

However, there were times when earthquakes were stronger than the Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes dating back 500 years.

- Rigid / PNU Geological and Environmental Sciences Professor: I have written had a size of 6.7 earthquake occurred in 1436 in February sizes 4 to May the same year -

National Weather Service expects the earthquake do not know the cause can lead to faults and earthquakes in the region Four additional seismographs were installed for analysis.
