On December 31, 2022 at 19:49 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck near Haryana, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 28.7191°, 76.6286°. This earthquake was detected by 21 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 289, placing it among routine seismic activity.
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.
