What is the Magnitude of an earthquake and how big was the earthquake in Japan?
The magnitude of an earthquake is a number used to quantify how much energy was released during the earthquake. The earthquake in Japan that occurred on Friday, March 10, 2011, had a moment magnitude of 8.9.
How do they measure an earthquake how big it is?
It is a device called a seismographe. It is used to determine the magnitude on a scale which is then deciding how bad the earthquake is.
How big was the largest earthquake in the world?
The one in Chile measuring 9.5 magnitude.
What is an earthquake's magnitude a measure of?
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
Another word for an earthquake's strength is what?
Another word for an earthquake's strength is magnitude. Magnitude is a measure of the size of the seismic waves produced by an earthquake.
Is the 2011 Japan earthquake the worst in history?
No, but it is the worst in Japan this century. The last big earthquake of this magnitude was in the early 1900's.
How much larger is an earthquake with a magnitude of 9 than an earthquake with a magnitude of 4?
An earthquake with a magnitude of 9 is 10,000 times larger in amplitude than an earthquake with a magnitude of 4 on the Richter scale. This means that the energy released by a magnitude 9 earthquake is significantly greater than that of a magnitude 4 quake.
What word describes the strength of an earthquake?
The strength of an earthquake is measured by its magnitude, which indicates the amount of energy released at the earthquake's source. Earthquake magnitude is typically reported on the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale.
