On November 6, 2020 at 07:38 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 22 km NW of Shohimardon, Uzbekistan, at a depth of 19.0 km and coordinates 40.1141°, 71.6098°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
