2025-11-06 21:02:03 UTC (2025-11-06) · approx. 1:02 PM UTC-8 local
On November 6, 2025 at 21:02 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 91 km SSW of Alberto Oviedo Mota, B.C., MX, at a depth of 2.4 km and coordinates 31.5052°, -115.6250°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.5 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 120 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
