How does Mt Everest compare to the Mariana Trench?
The Mariana Trench is 150 times larger [deeper] than the Grand Canyon.
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.
Is a 6.3 earthquake twice as big as a 6.2 earthquake?
The Richter and Moment Magnitude scale are both logarithmic scales so that a scale 1 earthquake would be 10 times weaker than a scale 2 earthquake and 100 times weaker than a scale 3 earthquake, so mathmatically I would say that it increases by a tenth of a scale 7 earthquake.
How many times more powerful is an earthquake measuring 7.0 than one measuring 5.0?
The Richter magniude scale is logorithmic. As such the size (amplitude) of the largest seismic waves produced by a magnitude 7 earthquake are 102 (or 100) times larger than those produced by a magnitude 5 earthquake. However the amount of energy released by a magnitude7 earthquake is 1000 times greater (102)^3/2 than a magnitude 5 earthquake and so it is likely to be much more destructive.
How many times greater is 6 than 6 in 66?
It would help if you defined which 6 compared with which 6.I would guess ten times, but that is just that - a guess.It would help if you defined which 6 compared with which 6.I would guess ten times, but that is just that - a guess.It would help if you defined which 6 compared with which 6.I would guess ten times, but that is just that - a guess.It would help if you defined which 6 compared with which 6.I would guess ten times, but that is just that - a guess.
Which decimal is larger 0.10 or 0.01?
.10-that would be like a dime compared to a penny.
Why do the stars at night look so small even though they are much larger than earth?
They are many orders of magnitude further away from us than the sun is compared to the number of times larger than the sun is. For example a star that is 100 times the diameter of the sun but 1 million times further away would look about 0.0001 times as large as the sun to us.
A magnitude 6 earthquake is how many times greater than a magnitude 5 earthquake?
1000 times as much
Does Dominican Republic or Spain have a larger population?
Spain would have a much larger population, with about 47 million compared to Dominican Republic's 10 million.
How much stronger would a number 5 earthquake be than a number 3 earthquake?
Because of the Richter Scale's logarithmic properties, a number 5 earthquake is 100 times more severe than a number 3 earthquake.
How many times would Rhode Island fit inside Alaska?
Rhode Island could fit inside Alaska approximately 426 times. Alaska is over 400 times larger in area compared to Rhode Island.
Why would a person need to report a gas odor after an earthquake?
Because often times in an earthquake, gas may leak from pipes, as everything is getting destroyed and falling apart after a very strong earthquake.
