On July 4, 2024 at 22:19 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 27 km SSW of Barishal, Pakistan, at a depth of 47.0 km and coordinates 36.0907°, 74.5884°. This earthquake was detected by 60 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 313, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
