On January 12, 2022 at 20:46 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 48 km NNE of Imph?l, India, at a depth of 13.3 km and coordinates 25.2200°, 94.1077°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
