2020-06-10 17:30:13 UTC (2020-06-10) · approx. 7:30 AM UTC-10 local
On June 10, 2020 at 17:30 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 intermediate depth earthquake struck 38 km WNW of Anchor Point, Alaska, at a depth of 86.4 km and coordinates 59.9202°, -152.4542°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
