It came roughly two hours after a magnitude 4.5 quake rocked the town of 91,000. Both earthquakes originated from the same approximately six-mile-deep (ten-kilometer-deep) spot outside Lorca.</p><p>Situated near the boundary of the African and Eurasian <a href="http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/earth/the-dynamic-earth/plate-tectonics-article/">tectonic plates</a>, the Lorca area is no stranger to earthquakes, though most are too faint to detect without seismological tools, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.</p>
