M4.4 Earthquake in the Fiji region — June 22, 2025
2025-06-22 21:34:29 UTC (2025-06-22) · approx. 9:34 AM UTC-12 local
On June 22, 2025 at 21:34 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 deep-focus earthquake struck in the Fiji region, at a depth of 607.0 km and coordinates -21.6274°, -179.4628°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
