On June 13, 2024 at 18:28 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 150 km SSE of Amahai, Indonesia, at a depth of 214.1 km and coordinates -4.6714°, 129.2069°.
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.
