    An earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale struck northern Alberta on Tuesday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Center said.

    The earthquake, which struck east of Peace River, Alta. — which is 357 kilometers northwest of Edmonton — was at a depth of two kilometers, EMSC said.

    EMSC revised the magnitude after it was first reported that the earthquake was of magnitude 5.9.

    Earthquakes Canada reported it as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake at a depth of four kilometers. Five minutes later, the USGS measured one shock at 4.9 and another at 4.6, both nearly 10 kilometers away.
