On February 15, 2022 at 08:03 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 37 km NNE of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, at a depth of 46.8 km and coordinates 16.7717°, -61.3390°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.7 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
