M3.0 Earthquake 50 km SE of Lavrentiya, Russia — February 11, 2025
2025-02-11 23:57:06 UTC (2025-02-11) · approx. 12:57 PM UTC-11 local
On February 11, 2025 at 23:57 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 50 km SE of Lavrentiya, Russia, at a depth of 19.7 km and coordinates 65.2954°, -170.1920°.
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.
