2024-07-25 23:59:35 UTC (2024-07-25) · approx. 1:59 AM UTC+2 local
On July 25, 2024 at 23:59 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 11 km ESE of Archángelos, Greece, at a depth of 68.8 km and coordinates 36.1746°, 28.2310°.
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.
