2021-06-11 18:19:27 UTC (2021-06-11) · approx. 11:19 AM UTC-7 local
On June 11, 2021 at 18:19 UTC, a magnitude 3.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 22 km ENE of Jiménez, Mexico, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 28.3778°, -105.1732°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 11 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 296 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
