On June 24, 2024 at 22:34 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 deep-focus earthquake struck 271 km SE of Kushimoto, Japan, at a depth of 399.3 km and coordinates 31.7806°, 137.8801°.
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.
