According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report. Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Glenharvie (pop. 11,800) located 2 km from the epicenter, Westonaria (pop. 156,800) 10 km away, Fochville (pop. 62,400) 15 km away, Carletonville (pop. 182,300) 20 km away, and Randfontein (pop. 133,700) 25 km away. In Soweto (pop. 1,695,000, 30 km away), Evaton (pop. 725,500, 30 km away), Roodepoort (pop. 326,400, 38 km away), and Johannesburg (pop. 9,418,200, 50 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
