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
