2024-03-11 17:04:51 UTC (2024-03-11) · approx. 4:04 AM UTC+11 local
On March 11, 2024 at 17:04 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 164 km NE of Tilichiki, Russia, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 61.5002°, 168.1423°.
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.
