2025-02-10 22:44:30 UTC (2025-02-10) · approx. 12:44 AM UTC+2 local
On February 10, 2025 at 22:44 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 28 km ENE of Firá, Greece, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 36.5571°, 25.6981°.
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.
