On November 11, 2024 at 22:21 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 7 km W of Néa Poteídaia, Greece, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 40.1835°, 23.2432°.
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.
