How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 6?
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times stronger than a magnitude 6 quake.
What is the energy level difference between a magnitude 5 earthquake and magnitude 6 earthquake?
A magnitude 6 earthquake emits roughly 31 times more energy than a magnitude 5 earthquake. The magnitude 6 quake will also have a maximum seismic wave amplitude of ten times the magnitude 5 earthquake.
How may earthquakes of 6 or more magnitude occur each year?
There's about 140 earthquakes with 6 magnitude or above a year.
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
Can neptune be seen by a telescope?
No. Its apparent magnitude (i.e., brightness) is about 8; with the naked eye, we can see objects up to approximately magnitude 6.
What happens when strength of an earthquake goes from a 4 to a 5 to a 6?
The Richter scale is logarithmic, so 5-magnitude is 10 times as strong as 4-magnitude, and 6-magnitude is 100 times as strong.
What is an earthquake's magnitude a measure of?
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 6?
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times stronger than a magnitude 6 quake.
Star A is a first magnitude star. Star B is a sixth magnitude star. Which star is brighter and by how much?
A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.
What is the difference in energy output between a magnitude 5 earthquake and a magnitude 6 earthquake?
A magnitude 6 earthquake has 10 ten times the energy of a magnitude 5 earthquake.
What is the energy level difference between a magnitude 5 earthquake and magnitude 6 earthquake?
A magnitude 6 earthquake emits roughly 31 times more energy than a magnitude 5 earthquake. The magnitude 6 quake will also have a maximum seismic wave amplitude of ten times the magnitude 5 earthquake.
What is Magnitude of the voltage or current?
"Magnitude" means how strong it is - how much voltage (how many volts), or how much current (how many amperes).
What is the order of magnitude of the number 7985345?
6
How do you find magnitude estimate of 7.842 divided by 6?
1.307
What is a large earthquake rated on the moment magnitude scale?
Earthquakes with a magnitude greater than or equal to 6 are termed strong earthquakes. 7 or larger are termed major earthquakes. Earthquakes greater than or equal to 8 are termed great earthquakes. The term "large" is not actually used.However based on the above it could be argued that any earthquake with a magnitude greater than 6 is a large earthquake.
What is the magnitude of -1 - 5i?
-6
What is the order of magnitude of 2386387?
6
