On November 10, 2020 at 14:37 UTC, a magnitude 4.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 18 km SE of Rasht, Tajikistan, at a depth of 18.8 km and coordinates 38.8942°, 70.5077°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 338 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.4 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
