Surrey earthquake: 3.0 magnitude tremor wakes residents near Gatwick AirportEpicentre is close to locations used for oil and gas exploration - but scientists say recent flurry of prospecting is not linked
Surrey earthquake causes residents to call police claiming a plane had crashed The tremor was felt in Newdigate, Surrey, less than 10 miles from Gatwick Airport, at 3.42am, according to the British Geological Survey (BGS).Wednesday morning's tremor was the fourth recorded quake in the area in the last fortnight, with the ground having moved on February 19, and twice on Valentine's Day.The latest movement was the strongest, however, after the BGS recorded a 2.0 magnitude tremor on February 19, and 2.4 and 0.2 quakes on February 14.Stephen Hicks, seismologist at Imperial College London, said: "All these earthquakes are occurring in exactly the same location at a shallow depth of 2km beneath the surface."
