How big was haiti earthquake compared to Chile earthquake?
"chillean earthquake was 80 times stronger than the Haitian quake, based on 7.0 for Haiti and 8.8 for Chille" Wrong. The Earthquake in Chile was 819 times stronger than the one in Haiti. Haiti measured 7.0 in the Moment magnitude scale (which is the ONLY scale used to measure quakes these days. The Richter scale has not been used since the 70's...) while Chile measured 8.8. This is a Logarithmic scale which grows exponentially. Thus, a quake measuring 7.0 is 32 (not 10) times stronger than one measuring 6.0, and so on... So, 8.0 is 32 times stronger than 7.0; and 8.8 is 25.6 times stronger than 8.0. 32 x 25.6 = 819.2

How big can an earthquake get?
According to several US news agencies (c.g. CBSNEWS), the USGS provided a comparison to help people gain perspective of Japan's recent earthquake.It was cited that"USGS compared Japan's earthquake with two well known quakes: last year's earthquake in Haiti and the historic 1906 San Francisco quake.The USGS calculated the magnitude 8.9 earthquake in Japan [on March 11, 2011] to be 700 times stronger than Haiti's recent magnitude 7.0 earthquake, which devastated Port-au-Prince and killed more than 300,000 people.When comparing to the San Francisco magnitude 7.9 earthquake in 1906, the USGS has figured that Japan's earthquake is equivalent to 30 times stronger."
