Yes, china received a 5.8 magnitude earthquake as a result of the Japans earthquake on March 11, 2011.
A "large" earthquake can be a major or great earthquake, both of which can cause serious damage to people, animal life, and buildings.A major earthquake is one of magnitude 7 - 7.9 which can cause serious damage. A great earthquake has a magnitude 8.0 or greater which can completely destroy communities near the epicenter.The 9.1 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, is an example of a very large or great earthquake.
A magnitude 6 earthquake has 10 ten times the energy of a magnitude 5 earthquake.
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
Yes. Japans lies where a few plater boundaries ome together.
7.2 magnitude
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.
The Earthquake of February 27,2010 had a magnitude of 8.8
The magnitude of Haiti's recent earthquake was 7.0
Because the "magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic (its numbers are an order of magnitude apart) this mean that the a magnitude 6 earthquake is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 5 earthquake and a HUNDRED TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
