On February 11, 2022 at 19:16 UTC, a magnitude 4.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 34 km WSW of Sarupathar, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 26.0883°, 96.4951°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 239 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.2 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
