How serious would an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale be?
7.8 would be described as 'major'. Damage to most or all buildings. Death toll could be considerable
How much damage would a 9.1 earthquake do?
It would depend on where is happened. In an unpopullated area, the damage would be minimal. In a populated area like the case of the recent Japan earthquake, they had almost total devastation with a 9. Earthquake.
When an earthquake occurs where would be damage more?
If the earthquake occurs on land - the highest damage occurs at the epicentre (the point at which the quake starts). If the quake begins at sea - most damage is caused at coastal regions from tidal waves.
How much damage can a 10.0 earthquake do?
An earthquake that measured 10.0 on the Richter scale would be absolutely devastating. You would see major cities crumble to pieces.
What kind of damage can a 0.7 earthquake cause?
None at all. A magnitude 0.7 earthquake would be an instrumental earthquake, meaning it can be picked up on seismometers, but otherwise is not noticeable.
How serious would an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale be?
7.8 would be described as 'major'. Damage to most or all buildings. Death toll could be considerable
What scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Mercalli scale would be used to damage earthquake damage.
How much damage would a 9.1 earthquake do?
It would depend on where is happened. In an unpopullated area, the damage would be minimal. In a populated area like the case of the recent Japan earthquake, they had almost total devastation with a 9. Earthquake.
Where would you least expect an earthquake to occur?
Certainly not haiti!
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
Which material would have less damage during an earthquake?
granite
What part of North America would have the greatest risk of earthquake damage?
Hawaii would have the greatest risk of volcano damage
Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Mercalli scale would most likely be used to measure earthquake damage.

What type of land development would be least damaged by earthquakes?
there really aren't lands that won't get the least amount of damage during an earthquake. With hills there's damage, and with flat ground there's still damage, it doesn't matter were you are it would still have damage during an earthquake.
