2025-03-31 22:56:47 UTC (2025-03-31) · approx. 12:56 PM UTC-10 local
On March 31, 2025 at 22:56 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 64 km SE of Denali National Park, Alaska, at a depth of 118.9 km and coordinates 63.1092°, -150.8620°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 674 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 83 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
