Magmatic quakes (on the Richter scale, 6-10) are indeed severe quakes. The severity is caused by how large the movement of an earthquake is. If it is a timy move, it may be a 1-5 rank on a Richter scale. For the big movements, you never know how large scientists record it as. The maximum on a Richter scale is 10.
