2022-11-13 22:56:04 UTC (2022-11-13) · approx. 1:56 AM UTC+3 local
On November 13, 2022 at 22:56 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 168 km SE of Zinjib?r, Yemen, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 12.1509°, 46.5755°.
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.
