On November 14, 2020 at 08:50 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 22 km E of Mawlaik, Myanmar, at a depth of 103.7 km and coordinates 23.6092°, 94.6188°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.7 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
