| [size=150:30oswuhm]4 January 2011 Earthquake felt in Cumbria area
A small earthquake has hit northern England, scientists have confirmed.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the 3.6-magnitude quake struck 9km north-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire just after 2100 GMT on Monday.
People in Bingley and Skipton, north-west of Leeds, reported feeling tremors, which were experienced across Cumbria and West Yorkshire.
The BGS said an earthquake of such size might be felt up to 100km away but was unlikely to cause much damage |
