2024-12-22 22:37:37 UTC (2024-12-22) · approx. 4:37 AM UTC+6 local
On December 22, 2024 at 22:37 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 107 km NE of Shi Yomi, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 29.1852°, 95.1793°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 347 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
