How much more energy is released in a 6.5 Richter magnitude earthquake than in one with a magnitude of 5.5?
30 times
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.
What is the difference between a 5.0 earthquake and a 6.0 earthquake?
The earthquake magnitude is a measure of the energy released during an earthquake. The scale is logarithmic, such that a magnitude of 6.0 releases about 32 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0 earthquake, and in turn more than 900 times more energy than a magnitude 4.0 earthquake.
How much less energy does a magnitude 4 earthquake have than a magnitude 7?
Each increase by one magnitude corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times that released by the lesser earthquake.Since 7 is 3 magnitudes higher than 4, the magnitude 4 earthquake has roughly 1/31554th the energy of the magnitude 7.Each increase by one magnitude corresponds to a release of shaking amplitude 10 times that released by the lesser earthquake.Since 7 is 3 magnitudes higher than 4, the magnitude 4 earthquake has 1/1000th the shaking amplitude of the magnitude 7.The amount of energy changes much more rapidly with magnitude than the amount of shaking amplitude. This is a commonly made error.
How much more ground motion is produced by an easrthquake of magnitude 7.0 than by an earthquake of magnitude 4.0?
ten times as much for each magnitude increase; thus a magnitude 7 is 1000 times more displacement than magnitude 4

The earthquake magnitude is a measure of the energy released during an earthquake. The scale is logarithmic, such that a magnitude of 6.0 releases about 32 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0 earthquake, and in turn more than 900 times more energy than a magnitude 4.0 earthquake.
How much worse is a magnitude 7 than a one of 6?
It's based on a logarithmic scale. A magnitude 7 releases 32 times more energy than a magnitude 6. Each 1.0 increase in magnitude is 32 times the energy release. An increase in 2.0 on the scale is 1000.
What is the energy level difference between a magnitude 5 earthquake and a magnitude 4 earthquake?
30 times more energy released. 10 times more ground motion*

Each increase by one magnitude corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times that released by the lesser earthquake.Since 7 is 3 magnitudes higher than 4, the magnitude 4 earthquake has roughly 1/31554th the energy of the magnitude 7.Each increase by one magnitude corresponds to a release of shaking amplitude 10 times that released by the lesser earthquake.Since 7 is 3 magnitudes higher than 4, the magnitude 4 earthquake has 1/1000th the shaking amplitude of the magnitude 7.The amount of energy changes much more rapidly with magnitude than the amount of shaking amplitude.

How much more energy is released from an earthquake of a magnitude of 6.5 to a magnitude of 5.5?
An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 has a shaking amplitude 10 times that of an earthquake with a 4.0 magnitude.
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.
How much more ground motion is produced by an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 than by an earthquake of magnitude 4.0?
0.3 magnitude
How much more ground motion is produced by an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 than by an earthquake magnitude 4.0?
0.3 magnitude
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
