Why is an earthquake in the ocean more dangerous than one on land?
An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land
How long did the 1989 San Francisco earthquake last - was it more than one hour?
No. An earthquake would never last more than an hour. Most last less than a minute. The 1989 earthquake lasted 15 seconds.
Could 1 or more earthquakes come at once?
The definition of an earthquake is the movement of the outer crust of the earth, so any time it shakes, it is considered an earthquake. You will usually have several waves of movement in one earthquake; that is not considered more than one earthquake. Think of it less like a storm and more like waves in water - an earthquake isn't something like a tornado where you can see more than one at a time. Earthquakes are often caused by the different parts of Earth's crust moving past each other, or one sliding underneath the other one. When this happens, the earth ripples, and each ripple is an earthquake shock.
Why might so many more people have died in Tokyo earthquake than in New Madrid earthquake?
so many people die in Tokyo than new Madrid because of there a more chances there than the other one!!!peice out guys!!!
How much more energy is released in a 6.5 Richter magnitude earthquake than in one with a magnitude of 5.5?
A one-unit increase in Richter magnitude corresponds to a tenfold increase in amplitude and 31.6 times more energy released. Therefore, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake releases 31.6 times more energy than a 5.5 magnitude earthquake.
Approx how many times more powerful is an earthquake with a score of 7 than 1 with a score of 6?
An earthquake with a magnitude of 7 is 10 times more powerful than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6. This is because the magnitude scale is logarithmic, meaning that for each whole number increase in magnitude, the amplitude of the earthquake's waves increases tenfold.
Is Japan earthquake 2011 the biggest earthquake in the world?
No. The earthquake that caused the Tsunami in Indonesia in 2004 was a bigger earthquake than the one that hit Japan.
Was there more than one d-day?
yes.
An earthquake with magnitude 6.6 on the Richter scale releases how many times as much energy as an earthquake with magnitude 5.6?
A 3.0 earthquake releases 1,000 times more energy than a 1.0 earthquake.
Is it bad to eat more than one avocado in one day?
No
How many day do brown bears live?
More than one day.
How much greater is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake than in comparison to a 6.0 earthquake?
My understanding of the magnitudes of earthquakes is that each decimal point is equal to a magnitude of strength 10x more than the previous number. Example would be that a 4.2 earthquake is 10x stronger than a 4.1 earthquake. Therefore, a magnitude 8.5 EQ is 100x stronger than a 7.5 EQ.
