about 2 to 4 minutes depending upon the magnitude
As the length of the slipped fault increases (all other factors being equal), so too does the magnitude of the earthquake.
45 seconds
The magnitude of the 1923 Tokyo earthquake was 7.9 on the Richter scale. Length of quake: 4-10 minutes. Overall, estimated damage included the loss of 570,000 residences and a cost in excess of one billion U.S. dollars in today's figures. There were 105,000 confirmed deaths, and another 40,000 or so who went missing.
Magnitude is a term used to describe how much energy was released by an earthquake. It gives an indication of the amplitude of the seismic waves that occur and also on the length of the fault rupture zone and the displacement along the fault. A magnitude 7 earthquake is defined by the US Geological Survey as a "major" earthquake. In general earthquake over a magnitude of 4 or 5 can cause damage although the exact reasons why some earthquake are more damaging than others is more complext than just the absolute magnitdue of the earthquake. For more information on this, see the related question.
No, earth's orbit around the sun did not change as result of the earthquake/ Tsunami in Japan, which was actually updated to a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. The length of a day, though, did change, and it changed by 1.8 millionths of a second. For earth's orbit to change, something would have to hit earth from outer space.
magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data ... an empirical quantitative ranking of the earthquake's inherent size or strength ... Another way to measure the size of an earthquake is to compute how much ... length with an average seismogenic width of 100km to produce an Mw10.5.
what was the magnatude of the earthquake in India in 1993
3hrs.
it is your mom
It was very long
4-10 minutes
An average couch is about average length
the actual earthquake lasted 30 mins but after shocks continued for 3 days
Quantitive evidence is evidence that has to do with numbers. For example. the magnitude of an earthquake the time the earthquake occurred and the length of the earthquake are all types of quantitive evidence
Nearly 30 seconds
4-10 minutes
the average earthquake time for long beach depends on how the high or low the magnitude range is.
