2026-07-10 15:24:27 UTC (2026-07-10) · approx. 3:24 AM UTC-12 local
On July 10, 2026 at 15:24 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 218 km W of Adak, Alaska, at a depth of 151.7 km and coordinates 51.9147°, -179.8025°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 674 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 83 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
