On June 19, 2021 at 17:05 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 39 km E of Atlasovo, Russia, at a depth of 182.8 km and coordinates 55.5394°, 160.2656°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 347 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
