2025-11-02 15:49:31 UTC (2025-11-02) · approx. 6:49 PM UTC+3 local
On November 2, 2025 at 15:49 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 16 km NNE of Amasia, Armenia, at a depth of 13.7 km and coordinates 41.0949°, 43.8586°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
