On March 26, 2021 at 19:02 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 47 km NNE of Bomdila, India, at a depth of 29.8 km and coordinates 27.6289°, 92.6692°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.7 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
