2025-11-16 19:56:07 UTC (2025-11-16) · approx. 12:56 AM UTC+5 local
On November 16, 2025 at 19:56 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 89 km N of Thang, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 35.7267°, 76.9374°. This earthquake was detected by 64 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 312, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
