How many times larger is a 5.5 magnitude earthquake than a 3.5 magnitude earthquake?
100 times larger
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 much does the amplitude of the wave increase between an earthquake that measures 4.2 on the Richter scale and an earthquake that measures 6.2 on the Richter scale?
The energy released by an earthquake increases by 10x for every 1.0 increase in magnitude on the Richter scale. A 6.2 quake is 2.0 higher than a 4.2 quake. The increase in energy output would be calculated as such: 10x10=100. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake is 100 times more powerful than a 4.2 magnitude earthquake.
How much larger is an earthquake with a magnitude of 9 than an earthquake with a magnitude of 4?
5

100 times larger
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.
How many times greater is the amplitude of an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 versus an earthquake with a magnitude of 4?
100 times
The seismic waves in a 5.5 magnitude earthquake are times larger than those in a 3.5 magnitude earthquake?
100 :)
How many times greater is the maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake compared with that of a magnitude 3 earthquake?
The maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake is 100 times larger than a magnitude 3 earthquake.
How much larger is the wave amplitude of an 8.0 earthquake than a 6.0 earthquake?
The amplitude of a magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times larger than a magnitude 6 earthquake.
The seismic waves in a 6.1 magnitude earthquake are times larger than those in a 3.1 magnitude earthquake.?
1,000
How many times stronger is a magnitude 9 earthquake than a magnitude 7?
Answer #1:by a magnitude of 2======================Answer #2:by a factor of 100
What is the difference in strength between a 7.0 magnitude earthquake and a 9.0 magnitude earthquake?
-3.0 magnitude or if you want the ground motion: Each time the magnitude increases by one unit, the measured ground motion becomes 10 times larger. For example, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 on the Richter scale will produce 10 times as much ground motion as an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0. Furthermore, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 will produce 100 times as much ground motion (10 × 10) as an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0.
The seismic waves in a 6.1 magnitude earthquake are what times larger than those of a 3.1 magnitude earthquake?
10
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 an earthquake's magnitude a measure of?
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
