On July 25, 2025 at 18:59 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 28 km SW of Amahai, Indonesia, at a depth of 33.7 km and coordinates -3.4946°, 128.7097°.
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.
