Seismic waves from a 6.1 magnitude earthquake are significantly larger than those from a 3.1 magnitude earthquake. The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude. Therefore, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake produces waves with approximately 31.6 times more energy than a 3.1 magnitude earthquake.
