M3.0 Earthquake 88 km S of Eureka, Nevada — July 11, 2022
2022-07-11 23:02:16 UTC (2022-07-11) · approx. 3:02 PM UTC-8 local
On July 11, 2022 at 23:02 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 88 km S of Eureka, Nevada, at a depth of 0.0 km and coordinates 38.7192°, -116.0873°.
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.
