2025-01-24 21:50:38 UTC (2025-01-24) · approx. 3:50 PM UTC-6 local
On January 24, 2025 at 21:50 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 25 km S of Poblado 10, Mexico, at a depth of 135.4 km and coordinates 17.0465°, -94.4577°.
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.
