Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
How long did the 1989 San Francisco earthquake last - was it more than one hour?
No. An earthquake would never last more than an hour. Most last less than a minute. The 1989 earthquake lasted 15 seconds.
The human effects of muzaffarabad earthquake?
The earthquake of magnitude 7.6 claimed more than 80,000 lives
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 many people died in the Japanese earthquake?
More than 5000
Why is Ottawa more earthquake free than other cities?
It is probably not on any of the fault lines like other cities that gets earthquakes. Ottawa isn't on any fault-lines, BUT it does have a pretty strong seismic history. There are, on average, 150 earthquakes in the Ottawa region each year.
Does Washington have a greater population then Ottawa does?
No Ottawa has more than 5000 people
Witch city gets more snowfall Toronto Montreal or Winnipeg?
From my knowledge, Montreal gets more snowfall than Toronto or Winnipeg. I was born in Winnipeg, raised in Toronto and visited Montreal last year. The snow in Montreal was much heavier than in Toronto and Toronto gets more snow than Winnipeg.
What is the difference between a 5.0 earthquake and a 6.0 earthquake?
The earthquake magnitude is a measure of the energy released during an earthquake. The scale is logarithmic, such that a magnitude of 6.0 releases about 32 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0 earthquake, and in turn more than 900 times more energy than a magnitude 4.0 earthquake.
Why is an earthquake in the ocean more dangerous than one on land?
An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
An earthquake with magnitude 7.5 has how many more times the energy than a 6.5 earthquake?
Seismic energy increases by a factor of about 31.6 for each increase of magnitude, so a magnitude 3 earthquake has 31.6 times more energy released than a magnitude 2 earthquake.
Why is a 6.0 magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake?
Because the "magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic (its numbers are an order of magnitude apart) this mean that the a magnitude 6 earthquake is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 5 earthquake and a HUNDRED TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
Why is 6.0 magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake?
Because the "magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic (its numbers are an order of magnitude apart) this mean that the a magnitude 6 earthquake is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 5 earthquake and a HUNDRED TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
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.
Can an earthquake be more than 10.00?
it is very very very rare for an earthquake to even be more than 9.7 so it is very very very improbable that in can be 10.00 or more
