Casualties in earthquakes refer to the number of people who are either injured, killed, or missing as a result of the earthquake. The term includes a count of all individuals affected physically by the seismic event.
There have been a number of earthquakes that have affected San Francisco. Perhaps the most famous are the 1906 earthquake which is estimated to have resulted in 3,000 fatalities and the more recent 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake which resulted in 63 deaths.
The wave amplitude of an 8.0 earthquake is 100 times larger than that of a 6.0 earthquake. This is because earthquake magnitude scales logarithmically, where each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude.
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
Earthquake intensity is typically measured using the Richter scale or the Moment Magnitude scale. These scales quantify the amount of energy released by an earthquake, expressed as a numerical value. The higher the number on the scale, the stronger the earthquake.
There were more than 10,000 dead and over 9,600 injured on the 1985 Mexico City earthquake.

The Anchorage Earthquake:The number of deaths from the earthquake and the tsunami that it created totalled at least 131 people including 16 as far away as Oregon and California. Death as a direct result of the Good Friday earthquake however was only nine with all other were blamed on the tsunami.
Because of the Richter Scale's logarithmic properties, a number 5 earthquake is 100 times more severe than a number 3 earthquake.
The Haiti Earthquake measured about 7 on the Richter Scale.

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.
