On July 20, 2023 at 22:39 UTC, a magnitude 4.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 11 km ESE of Jaipur, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 26.8685°, 75.8906°. This earthquake was detected by 37 seismic stations with moderate location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 366, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 43 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 558 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
