The above may very well be correct; my understanding is that every whole number up represents about a 10-fold increase in energy of a quake. One would conclude that the quake of rating 8 is 10,000 times stronger than a quake of 4.

∙ 11y agoWell, the magnitude is a logarithmic scale (base 10) of the energy liberated by an earthquake. So a one-point increase in magnitude corresponds to a 10 times increase in energy released during the earthquake. It implies the earthquake is 10 times more devastating than the previous one.

How does the energy released by an earthquake compare to the energy of a nuclear weapon?
* Earthquake Richter 5.0 = 32 kilotons nuclear weapon, like was used at Nagasaki * Earthquake Richter 6.0 = 1 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.0 = 32 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.1 = 50 megaton nuclear weapon, Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever tested * Earthquake Richter 8.0 = 1 gigaton nuclear weapon, much larger than anything ever made

Are earthquakes cyclic?
Supposedly its true. They are unpredictable, but there is a certain time range that is estimated. For example, in my country in the a western peninsula around each 50 years there is a earthquake stronger than 7.5 degrees. In this moment we are expecting a new one because the last 7.7 was on 1954. scientist are warning people to be aware, so yes, earthquakes are cyclical. But as you probably know, this field is still full of several mysteries to scientist.

What is stronger stronger sunquakes or earthquakes?
Though sunquakes are often described as “waves” or “ripples,” these terms belie the full force of these events: the first sunquake discovered to be connected to a solar flare was estimated to be equivalent to an 11.3-magnitude earthquake — roughly 50 times stronger than the strongest earthquake ever recorded
