What conditions can cause greater loss of life from one earthquake than from another of the same magnitude?

If the Earthquake is in the desert it will not make such an impact on the daily life, nor kill as many people because no building can collapse, no gas pipes to break, or cars to crash.

How much greater is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake over a 6.0 earthquake?
10 times larger
How many times greater is the magnitude of a 6.3 earthquake to a 9.2 magnitude earthquake?
A magnitude 9.2 earthquake is 794 times bigger on a seismograph than a 6.3 nut is 22387 times stronger in terms of energy released.
Would an earthquake be more severe if it had a higher or lower magnitude?
An earthquake with a higher magnitude would generally be more severe. Magnitude measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake, so a higher magnitude indicates a stronger earthquake with more potential to cause damage. However, the severity also depends on other factors including the depth of the earthquake, population density, and building infrastructure in the affected area.
