On September 14, 2024 at 18:47 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 62 km SE of Ramatuelle, France, at a depth of 7.1 km and coordinates 42.8846°, 7.2336°.
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.
