On December 26, 2020 at 21:48 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 93 km SSE of Hayuliang, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 27.3034°, 96.9396°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
