3.7 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale felt in Pico

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake on the Richter scale was felt this Thursday on the island of Pico, in the Azores. The seismic event was registered and reported by the Azores Seismic Information and Surveillance Center (CIVISA), responsible for monitoring seismic and volcanic activity in the archipelago. Information about the tremor was disseminated through CIVISA's official channels, which continuously monitors the region's geological activity. This type of event is relatively common in the Azores region, given the volcanic and tectonic context of the archipelago, located at the junction of tectonic plates in the North Atlantic.
