Parts of England have been shaken by 3.0 magnitude earthquake off the south coast.
It is understood that the centre of the tremor was 31 miles east of Eastbourne in the English Channel on Thursday morning (August 13) at around 9.05am.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which provides alerts on earthquake activity in Europe, the tremor was registered as 3.0 on the Richter scale.
The Richer scale is used throughout the world to measure the power of earthquakes, reports MirrorOnline.
According to the scale, a measurement of 3.0 would be considered a minor tremor, which can be felt by someone sitting down.
The depth of the earthquake was four miles underground and was registered in Camber Sands, 21 miles away, and Lewes, 45 miles away.
Some people in the earthquake's tremor radar took to social media to say they had felt a noticeable shake.
One Twitter user, from Ifield Wood in Crawley, said: “As if I’m saying I’ve just been woken up by an earthquake again. What is happening?”
The British Geological Survey has reported it received dozens of notifications from people disturbed by the quake.
A small tremor was also recorded near Gatwick Airport on May 4.
