2022-07-26 19:55:26 UTC (2022-07-26) · approx. 2:55 AM UTC+7 local
On July 26, 2022 at 19:55 UTC, a magnitude 4.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck near southeast Indian Ridge, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates -47.9228°, 102.7907°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 43 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 558 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
