2021-10-01 03:49:28 UTC (2021-10-01) · approx. 9:49 AM UTC+6 local
On October 1, 2021 at 03:49 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 203 km NNE of Shi Yomi, India, at a depth of 31.6 km and coordinates 30.3214°, 94.8247°.
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.
