M2.2 Earthquake near southern Idaho — November 14, 2022
2022-11-14 18:54:16 UTC (2022-11-14) · approx. 11:54 AM UTC-7 local
On November 14, 2022 at 18:54 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck near southern Idaho, at a depth of 6.1 km and coordinates 42.6552°, -111.4308°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 29.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 20 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
