2021-06-14 21:38:37 UTC (2021-06-14) · approx. 11:38 AM UTC-10 local
On June 14, 2021 at 21:38 UTC, a magnitude 2.4 intermediate depth earthquake struck 66 km SE of Denali National Park, Alaska, at a depth of 127.3 km and coordinates 63.0887°, -150.8682°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60.0 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 27 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
