On August 24, 2021 at 07:05 UTC, a magnitude 5.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 257 km SSE of R?zole, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 14.4654°, 83.0456°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 674 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 2.0 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
