2025-07-06 14:34:20 UTC (2025-07-06) · approx. 8:34 PM UTC+6 local
On July 6, 2025 at 14:34 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 94 km N of Xinyuan, China, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 44.2724°, 83.4036°. This earthquake was detected by 61 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 340, 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.
