On June 1, 2020 at 01:00 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 intermediate depth earthquake struck 34 km S of Puerto El Triunfo, El Salvador, at a depth of 70.5 km and coordinates 12.9763°, -88.5650°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
