On February 13, 2025 at 20:44 UTC, a magnitude 4.3 intermediate depth earthquake struck 8 km N of Cașoca, Romania, at a depth of 126.0 km and coordinates 45.5671°, 26.2846°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 43 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 558 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
