2020-07-25 15:58:37 UTC (2020-07-25) · approx. 9:58 PM UTC+6 local
On July 25, 2020 at 15:58 UTC, a magnitude 4.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 209 km NNE of Shi Yomi, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 30.3757°, 94.8368°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 239 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.2 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
