How many times greater is released from a 6.5 magnitude earthquake from a 4.5 magnitude eathquake?
A hundred times greater. The "magnitudes" used here use a logarithmic scale; every increase by one magnitude means an increase of the amount of energy in the earthquake by a factor of 10 in this case.
How many times larger is a 5.5 magnitude earthquake than a 3.5 magnitude earthquake?
100 times larger
An earthquake with magnitude 7.5 has how many more times the energy than a 6.5 earthquake?
Seismic energy increases by a factor of about 31.6 for each increase of magnitude, so a magnitude 3 earthquake has 31.6 times more energy released than a magnitude 2 earthquake.
How many more times energy does an earthquake with a Richter magnitude 8 release than an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 6?
about a 1000
How many earthquakes over magnitude 8 were recorded in 1978?
This is not a record of a Magnitude 8 or Greater Earthquake during the year
How many times greater is the amplitude of an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 versus an earthquake with a magnitude of 4?
100 times
How many times greater is the maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake compared with that of a magnitude 3 earthquake?
The maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake is 100 times larger than a magnitude 3 earthquake.
How many times greater is released from a 6.5 magnitude earthquake from a 4.5 magnitude eathquake?
A hundred times greater. The "magnitudes" used here use a logarithmic scale; every increase by one magnitude means an increase of the amount of energy in the earthquake by a factor of 10 in this case.
How many times stronger is a magnitude 9 earthquake than a 5 earthquake?
A magnitude 9 earthquake is 10,000x stronger than a magnitude 5.
How many times larger is a 5.5 magnitude earthquake than a 3.5 magnitude earthquake?
100 times larger
An earthquake with magnitude 7.5 has how many more times the energy than a 6.5 earthquake?
Seismic energy increases by a factor of about 31.6 for each increase of magnitude, so a magnitude 3 earthquake has 31.6 times more energy released than a magnitude 2 earthquake.
A magnitude 6 earthquake is how many times greater than a magnitude 5 earthquake?
1000 times as much
How many times greater is the maximum ground motion of a magnitude 4 earthquake compared with that of a magnitude 2 earthquake?
Not sure, but if i remember my Richter scale correctly it's logarithmic. if it's base 10 logarithm then a magnification difference from 2 to 4 would mean 10^2 * 10 = 1000 times greater.
How many more times energy does an earthquake with a Richter magnitude 8 release than an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 6?
about a 1000

How many earthquakes over magnitude 8 were recorded in 1910?
This is not a record of a Magnitude 8 or Greater Earthquake during the year
How many earthquakes over magnitude 8 were recorded in 1912?
This is not a record of a Magnitude 8 or Greater Earthquake during the year
