2022-03-10 19:28:51 UTC (2022-03-10) · approx. 12:28 AM UTC+5 local
On March 10, 2022 at 19:28 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 140 km NE of Thang, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 35.8865°, 77.8078°.
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.
