On February 6, 2025 at 21:03 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 intermediate depth earthquake struck 4 km E of Jordán, Colombia, at a depth of 156.3 km and coordinates 6.7282°, -73.0557°. This earthquake was detected by 43 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 312, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
