2024-06-16 16:42:49 UTC (2024-06-16) · approx. 3:42 AM UTC+11 local
On June 16, 2024 at 16:42 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck in the Komandorskiye Ostrova, Russia region, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 53.7285°, 166.8128°.
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.
