2020-06-25 22:21:44 UTC (2020-06-25) · approx. 2:21 PM UTC-8 local
On June 25, 2020 at 22:21 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 18km SSE of Lone Pine, CA, at a depth of 5.4 km and coordinates 36.4438°, -117.9748°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 722 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 86 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
