2022-11-10 23:57:56 UTC (2022-11-10) · approx. 8:57 AM UTC+9 local
On November 10, 2022 at 23:57 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 39 km ENE of Manokwari, Indonesia, at a depth of 25.8 km and coordinates -0.7049°, 134.3863°.
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.
