4.9 quake 114 Km ENE of Iquique, Chile, Jan 25, 2022 10:40 am (GMT -3)

An intermediate magnitude 4.9 earthquake was reported in the morning near Iquique, Provincia de Iquique, Tarapaca, Chile.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Tuesday, January 25th, 2022, at 10:40 am local time at an intermediate depth of 106 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9 as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.1.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Iquique (pop. 227,500) located 115 km from the epicenter.
