On November 11, 2024 at 19:52 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 87 km ENE of Hasaki, Japan, at a depth of 28.3 km and coordinates 35.9959°, 141.7443°.
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.
