2023-11-18 14:17:22 UTC (2023-11-18) · approx. 1:17 AM UTC+11 local
On November 18, 2023 at 14:17 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 58 km S of Ust’-Kamchatsk Staryy, Russia, at a depth of 61.5 km and coordinates 55.7070°, 162.4080°.
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.
