How many times stronger is an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 than an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0?
The Richter scales grows by powers of 10, so an increase of 1 point means the strength of an earth quake is 10 times greater than the level before it; for example, and earthquake registering 3.0 on the Richter scale is 10 times stronger than a quake that registered 2.0
Is an earthquake measuring 2 ten time stronger than one measuring 3?
No this is reversed
Which scale is used to find the intesity of an earthquake?
The Richter scale, each number is ten times more stronger than the previous number. A #6 earthquake is ten times more power than a number 5 earthquake.
How much stronger was the 1946 earthquake than the 2010 earthquake?
Well the 1946 earthquake to my knowledge was 8.0 in magnitude but the 20010 was was only 7.0 so in fact the 1946 earthquake was stronger, but the media coverage may not have been as large which is why people may be under the illusion that the 2010 earthquake was stronger, it is one of the positive consequences of the Internet transmitting information that we can learn about these disasters quicker to send help especially to less economically developed countries.
Did the japan volcano cause an earthquake?
Of course it was...
Is a tsunami stronger than earthquake?
Earthquake
How many times stronger is a magnitude 9 earthquake than a 5 earthquake?
A magnitude 9 earthquake is 10,000x stronger than a magnitude 5.
Is a hurricane stronger than an earthquake?
In terms of the maximum amount of energy released, an earthquake is stronger.
Which earthquake was 32 times stronger than the earthquake in Southern Chile?
japan
How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 6?
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times stronger than a magnitude 6 quake.
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Was Chili'S earthquake stronger than Hati's earthquake?
haiti was 7.0 on Richter chiles was 8.8
A 9.0 earthquake is how many times larger than a 7.0 earthquake?
1000 times stronger.
How much stronger is an 8.8 than a 7.0 earthquake?
80
How much stronger was the Chile earthquake than the one in Haiti?
The Chile earthquake at 8.8 was about 100 times stronger than the Haiti earthquake at 6.8. The Richter scale is logarithmic. The difference between the earthquakes is 2.0, which is the logarithm of 100.
How much stronger is a 9.0 than a 4.0 of an earthquake?
A LOT stronger. The force of an earthquake is expressed using a log 10 scale of energy. A 5.0 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a 4.0, a 6.0 is 10 times stronger than a 5.0, and so on. 9 is the highest number on the scale, and would be a "Great" earthquake, as opposed to minor, moderate, strong or major. Total destruction of man-made structures, etc.
Is Chile earthquake more worse than Haiti earthquake?
The Chile earthquake was stronger than the Haiti earthquake but, larger because of differences in construction and infrastructure its impact on humans was less severe.
