M3.8 Earthquake in the Afghanistan-Tajikistan-Pakistan region — June 10, 2022
2022-06-10 23:09:21 UTC (2022-06-10) · approx. 4:09 AM UTC+5 local
On June 10, 2022 at 23:09 UTC, a magnitude 3.8 intermediate depth earthquake struck in the Afghanistan-Tajikistan-Pakistan region, at a depth of 218.5 km and coordinates 36.6728°, 71.1786°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 7.6 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 252 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
