2025-03-14 19:11:44 UTC (2025-03-14) · approx. 6:11 AM UTC+11 local
On March 14, 2025 at 19:11 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 102 km E of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, at a depth of 48.9 km and coordinates 52.9511°, 160.1395°.
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.
