One statement you could write is that "Earthquakes of higher magnitudes are much rarer than those of lower magnitudes". The magnitude of earthquakes is a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude of 8 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 7. This is why earthquakes of higher magnitudes are so much rarer than those of lower magnitudes.

the magnitude of 3.0 releases about 1000 times as much energy as an 1.0 magnitude
Earthquakes aren't given names, but they are given magnitudes, if that's helpful. The magnitude for the earthquake that caused the Hati disaster was 7.0.
That causes earthquakes

8.0
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at depths of 70 km with magnitudes ranging from 1-5. Deep focus earthquakes occur at depths from 300-700 km and magnitudes from 6-10.
There are earthquakes almost everyday, some have small magnitudes, you can barely feel them.
Large earthquakes (magnitudes greater than 8) are measured using the MMS (moment magnitude) scale. Small and moderate strength earthquakes (those with magnitudes less than 7) are measured using the Richter magnitude scale and earthquakes with magnitudes between 7 and 8 are measured using the Surface Wave magnitude scale.
Seismology is the science of earthquakes and their causes. A scientist who studies earthquakes and their causes is called a seismologist.
Europe doesn't have the greatest number of earthquakes.
Earthquakes are cool...
i think that earthquakes can cause deposition

What Causes Earthquakes - 1925 was released on: USA: 10 July 1925
yes beacause the earthquakes are so big like magnitudes 7.1 6.3 6.3 6.3
