On June 16, 2022 at 22:02 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 34 km SE of Londres, Argentina, at a depth of 154.2 km and coordinates -27.9376°, -66.8916°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
