2025-07-31 21:51:14 UTC (2025-07-31) · approx. 8:51 AM UTC+11 local
On July 31, 2025 at 21:51 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 119 km E of Ozernovskiy, Russia, at a depth of 57.2 km and coordinates 51.3009°, 158.1844°.
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.
