Felt by 9 people across nearby locations.
On November 8, 2022 at 15:22 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 26 km ENE of Dipayal, Nepal, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 29.3448°, 81.1922°. This earthquake was detected by 55 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 344, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
