Friday, a moderately strong earthquake of magnitude and 5.1 struck in Iran, according to the United States Geological Survey.

While seismologists examine the available data, they can revise the indicated scale of the earthquake. Additional information collected on the earthquake can also encourage scientists to the USGS to update the Shake-Severity card.
