On July 31, 2021 at 23:25 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 32 km S of Mandráki, Greece, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 36.3274°, 27.0640°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
