On June 14, 2026 at 22:54 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 34 km NNW of Valparaíso, Chile, at a depth of 33.2 km and coordinates -32.7349°, -71.7345°.
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.
