On March 25, 2022 at 19:34 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 4 km SSE of Santa Clara, Panama, at a depth of 24.2 km and coordinates 8.7976°, -82.7605°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
