On June 21, 2020 at 10:46 UTC, a magnitude 4.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 22 km ESE of Darlawn, India, at a depth of 41.6 km and coordinates 23.9075°, 93.1135°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 338 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.4 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
