2020-06-01 23:15:01 UTC (2020-06-01) · approx. 12:15 AM UTC+1 local
On June 1, 2020 at 23:15 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 7 km WSW of Empório, Greece, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 40.4591°, 21.4831°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
