The 1 January 2024 mainshock was the strongest to hit the peninsula since records began in 1885. [ 15] The swarm began in December 2020 at depths greater than 15 km (9.3 mi) beneath the peninsula's northeast. By mid-March 2021, the earthquake swarm migrated to shallower depths above 15 km (9.3 mi).
The area is associated with large earthquakes in 1968 (M w 7.5) and 1996 (M w 6.7 and 6.8). The Hyūga Sea is interpreted as a transition zone between the highly coupled Nankai Trough in the northeast and weakly coupled Ryukyu Trench further southwest. [2] The 1968 and

The area where the earthquake occurred is seismically active, although earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or larger are infrequent. In the preceding 100 years, there were three events above M 6.5 within 250 km of the 22 January event, with the largest being a M 7.1 event in 1978, approximately 200 km to the north.
