On June 27, 2025 at 06:31 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 3 km WSW of Santa Lucía, Ecuador, at a depth of 61.6 km and coordinates -2.1982°, -80.0324°. This earthquake was detected by 54 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 343, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
