On June 4, 2022 at 19:03 UTC, a magnitude 3.9 intermediate depth earthquake struck 69 km S of Challapata, Bolivia, at a depth of 258.7 km and coordinates -19.5302°, -66.8130°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 11 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 296 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
