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.

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.
