2022-10-12 23:09:22 UTC (2022-10-12) · approx. 1:09 AM UTC+2 local
On October 12, 2022 at 23:09 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 195 km SSW of Ka?, Turkey, at a depth of 29.1 km and coordinates 34.5088°, 29.0285°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
