How many times larger is an earthquake that measures 7 compared to one that measures 5?
Csengekozma
It is all to do with the Richter scale
It is 20 times bigger.
1=10
2=20
3=30
4=40
5=50
6=60
7=70
etc.
8.3= 83
7.4= 74

What is the difference between a 7.0 earthquake than an 5.0 earthquake?
The difference is several orders of magnitude of strength. Compared to a 5.0 earthquake, a 7.0 is 100 times larger and releases 1000 times the energy.
How many times greater is the maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake compared with that of a magnitude 3 earthquake?
The maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake is 100 times larger than a magnitude 3 earthquake.
How strong is a magnitude 8 earthquake compared to a 7?
The amplitude (height) of the seismic waves in a magnitude 8 earthquake will be ten times larger than in a magnitude 7 quake. This equates to approximately 31 times more energy.
How much larger is the wave amplitude of an 8.0 earthquake than a 6.0 earthquake?
The amplitude of a magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times larger than a magnitude 6 earthquake.
How large was the Alaskan earthquake of 1964 compared to the San Francisco earthquake of 1906?
The Alaska earthquake of 1964 had a magnitude of 9.2, compared with the 1906 SF earthquake's magnitude of 7.8. A 9.2 earthquake releases approximately 500 billion times the energy of a magnitude 7.8.
How many times larger would a 9.5 earthquake be compared to 8.5 earthquake?

Is an earthquake that measures four ten times greater than an earthquake with a measure of three?
yes it does and an earthquake that measures four is 100 times greater than one with a measure of 2 and so on
How many times larger is a 5.5 magnitude earthquake than a 3.5 magnitude earthquake?
100 times larger
How strong is a magnitude 8 earthquake compared to a 7?
The amplitude (height) of the seismic waves in a magnitude 8 earthquake will be ten times larger than in a magnitude 7 quake. This equates to approximately 31 times more energy.
A 9.0 earthquake is how many times larger than a 7.0 earthquake?
1000 times stronger.
How much larger is the wave amplitude of an 8.0 earthquake than a 6.0 earthquake?
The amplitude of a magnitude 8 earthquake is 100 times larger than a magnitude 6 earthquake.
How much greater is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake over a 6.0 earthquake?
10 times larger
