What term means the measure of energy released by an earthquake?

The measure of energy released by an earthquake depends on its magnitude. If its a high magnitude earthquake, there is a lot of energy. If there is a low magnitude, then there is little energy.


How is the amount of energy released from an earthquake related to its magnitude?

How is the energy released by the earthquake related to its moment magnitude?

The moment magnitude uses seismographs plus what physically occurs during an earthquake.


How is an earthquake magnitude scale related to the amounts of energy released by earthquaiew?

The earthquake magnitude scale, such as the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale, is logarithmic, meaning each whole number increase corresponds to a tenfold increase in amplitude and approximately 32 times more energy released. This means that a magnitude 7 earthquake releases roughly 32 times more energy than a magnitude 6 earthquake.


What is the difference in energy released by an 5 earthquake and a 6 earthquake?

Roughly 32 times more energy is released in a Magnitude 6 earthquake than in a Mag.5 quake.


Can you explain how the transfer of energy as seismic waves is related to the frequency and magnitude of earthquake in a region?

They both based on the amount of energy that is released during earthquake


Magnitude is an earthquake's what?

The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.


In what way does the magnitude of an earthquake relate to its estimated effects?

The Richter scale is related to the effects of an earthquake rather than the energy released.


What is an earthquake's magnitude a measure of?

An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is


What does the magnitude of the earthquake have to do with?

The word Magnitude is used to described the amount of energy released when an Earthquake occurs


What is a sentence with magnitude?

The magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of the energy that is released by the event.


What is measured by the amount of energy released by an earthquake?

Magnitude scales are measurements of the amount of energy released by an earthquake. Perhaps the most famous is the Richter magnitude scale although this has since been replaced by the moment magnitude scale. Please see the related questions for more information.
