On July 11, 2020 at 20:26 UTC, a magnitude 4.6 intermediate depth earthquake struck 10 km N of Jordán, Colombia, at a depth of 151.9 km and coordinates 6.8290°, -73.0790°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 120 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 899 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
