2022-07-25 19:05:04 UTC (2022-07-25) · approx. 10:05 AM UTC-9 local
On July 25, 2022 at 19:05 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 210 km NNW of Inuvik, Canada, at a depth of 53.9 km and coordinates 70.1794°, -135.1434°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 71 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
