Location Uncertainty: 

Parameter	Value	Uncertainty
Magnitude	6.2 Mwp	± 0.03
Location	26.784°N, 57.841°E	± 15.7 km
Depth	36.4 km	± 7.0 km
Number of Phase Applied1	101
Minimum Distance2	1374.8 km (12.35°)
Travel Time Residual3	0.97 sec
Azimuthal Gap4	61°

¹Number of phase Applied: 

In determining location of hypocenter, applied number of observations on P waves and S waves. The greater the more accurate prediction of EQ.

²Minimum Distance:

 Horizontal distance of nearest Station measured in Km from epicenter. The smaller the more accuracy in prediction of depth of EQ.

³Travel Time Residual:

 A way of measurement of fit of arrival time observed to arrival time predicted for particular location. The smaller the better fit of data.

⁴Azimuthal Gap: 

Expressed in degree; the smaller the smaller the error in horizontal positioning of EQ. Large uncertainty is considered when exceeds 1800 (both depth and location)
