2025-03-10 20:14:58 UTC (2025-03-10) · approx. 1:14 AM UTC+5 local
On March 10, 2025 at 20:14 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 40 km N of Zharkent, Kazakhstan, at a depth of 14.4 km and coordinates 44.5223°, 80.0963°.
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.
