On April 30, 2025 at 23:48 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 17 km SE of Bodrum, Turkey, at a depth of 18.7 km and coordinates 36.9176°, 27.5577°.
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.
