2020-08-11 18:14:16 UTC (2020-08-11) · approx. 12:14 AM UTC+6 local
On August 11, 2020 at 18:14 UTC, a magnitude 4.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 205 km N of Shi Yomi, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 30.3544°, 94.7420°.
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.
