Which is more powerful in magnitude 5.0 or 7.0?
Magnitude 7.0 is a more powerful earthquake.
How many more powerful is a 9.0 then a 6.0 earthquake?
3.0 more
What do you call a small earthquake that follows a more powerful earthquake in the same area?
It is called an aftershock.
Can you feel seismic waves if you are sitting on the floor during an earthquaKE?
maybe; the more powerful the earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it.
Why is 6.0 magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake?
Because the "magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic (its numbers are an order of magnitude apart) this mean that the a magnitude 6 earthquake is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 5 earthquake and a HUNDRED TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
Why is a 6.0 magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake?
Because the "magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic (its numbers are an order of magnitude apart) this mean that the a magnitude 6 earthquake is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 5 earthquake and a HUNDRED TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
What is more powerful a hurricane or an earthquake?
i think an earthquake is more powerful because the ground could crack everything shakes and breaks and if someone fell ain't no telling where they would end up...#who knows?
Are longer earthquakes more powerful?
yes it is
Is an earthquake more powerful than a volcanic eruption or the other way around?
hu
If an earthquake is long does it do more damage?
Yes. The longer an earthquake continues, the more foundations of structures such as buildings and bridges continues to be shaken and therefore destabilised.
How powerful was the 2004 earthquake?
vey powerful obviously
Approx how many times more powerful is an earthquake with a score of 7 than 1 with a score of 6?
An earthquake with a magnitude of 7 is 10 times more powerful than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6. This is because the magnitude scale is logarithmic, meaning that for each whole number increase in magnitude, the amplitude of the earthquake's waves increases tenfold.
