An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
when and where did the 1970 Peru landslide??? when and where did the 1970 Peru landslide???
Another word for an earthquake's strength is magnitude. Magnitude is a measure of the size of the seismic waves produced by an earthquake.
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.
