2025-06-04 19:11:39 UTC (2025-06-04) · approx. 12:11 PM UTC-7 local
On June 4, 2025 at 19:11 UTC, a magnitude 4.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 56 km S of Corralero, Mexico, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 15.7411°, -98.2903°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 30 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 476 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
