2022-07-11 19:01:02 UTC (2022-07-11) · approx. 6:01 AM UTC+11 local
On July 11, 2022 at 19:01 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 95 km SE of Atlasovo, Russia, at a depth of 136.8 km and coordinates 54.9024°, 160.4893°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 347 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
