Statment between the magnitude of a earthquake and how often earthquakes of the magnitude occur?
One statement you could write is that "Earthquakes of higher magnitudes are much rarer than those of lower magnitudes". The magnitude of earthquakes is a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude of 8 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 7. This is why earthquakes of higher magnitudes are so much rarer than those of lower magnitudes.
What causes a rockfall?
earthquakes
What is the relationship between earthquakes with magnitudes on the Richter scale of 1.0 and 3.0?
the magnitude of 3.0 releases about 1000 times as much energy as an 1.0 magnitude
What is the name of the earthquake that caused hati?
Earthquakes aren't given names, but they are given magnitudes, if that's helpful. The magnitude for the earthquake that caused the Hati disaster was 7.0.
When faults shift what occurs?
That causes earthquakes

What is the range in magnitudes for earthquakes and what scale is used to measure them?
8.0
What is the difference between shallow focus earthquakes and deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at depths of 70 km with magnitudes ranging from 1-5. Deep focus earthquakes occur at depths from 300-700 km and magnitudes from 6-10.
How many earthquakes in 2010 until now?
There are earthquakes almost everyday, some have small magnitudes, you can barely feel them.
What are the scales in the magnitude of earthquake?
Large earthquakes (magnitudes greater than 8) are measured using the MMS (moment magnitude) scale. Small and moderate strength earthquakes (those with magnitudes less than 7) are measured using the Richter magnitude scale and earthquakes with magnitudes between 7 and 8 are measured using the Surface Wave magnitude scale.
The science that studies earthquakes and their causes?
Seismology is the science of earthquakes and their causes. A scientist who studies earthquakes and their causes is called a seismologist.
Does central Europe have the greatest number of earthquakes?
Europe doesn't have the greatest number of earthquakes.
What is earthquakes and its causes?
Earthquakes are cool...
Does deposition causes earthquakes?
i think that earthquakes can cause deposition
What causes a rockfall?
earthquakes
What are the release dates for What Causes Earthquakes - 1925?
What Causes Earthquakes - 1925 was released on: USA: 10 July 1925
Is christchurch going to have one more earthquake?
yes beacause the earthquakes are so big like magnitudes 7.1 6.3 6.3 6.3
