What is the difference in energy output between a magnitude 5 earthquake and a magnitude 6 earthquake?
A magnitude 6 earthquake has 10 ten times the energy of a magnitude 5 earthquake.
What is the damage a magnitude 8 earthquake can cause?
A magnitude 8 earthquake can release as much energy as 6 million tns of TNT. It can cause severe damage to structures and can very fatal.
A magnitude 6 earthquake is how many times greater than a magnitude 5 earthquake?
1000 times as much
An earthquake measuring 7 on the ritcher scale releases about how many times more energy than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6?
10 times greater since the Ritcher scale is logarithmic. An earthquake measuring 9 releases one thousand times more energy than a 6, 100 times more than a 7 and 10 times more than a 8. Logarithmic scales are scary.
How much bigger is a 7 on the Richter scale than a 6?
The seismic waves will have 10 times the amplitude and the earthquake will release approximately 32 times the energy.
What is the difference in energy output between a magnitude 5 earthquake and a magnitude 6 earthquake?
A magnitude 6 earthquake has 10 ten times the energy of a magnitude 5 earthquake.
What is the energy level difference between a magnitude 5 earthquake and magnitude 6 earthquake?
A magnitude 6 earthquake emits roughly 31 times more energy than a magnitude 5 earthquake. The magnitude 6 quake will also have a maximum seismic wave amplitude of ten times the magnitude 5 earthquake.
What is the difference in energy released by an 5 earthquake and a 6 earthquake?
Roughly 32 times more energy is released in a Magnitude 6 earthquake than in a Mag.5 quake.
How many more times energy does an earthquake with a Richter magnitude 8 release than an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 6?
about a 1000
What is the difference between -1 and -7?
6
What is the difference between -39 and -45?
6
How much greater is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake than in comparison to a 6.0 earthquake?
My understanding of the magnitudes of earthquakes is that each decimal point is equal to a magnitude of strength 10x more than the previous number. Example would be that a 4.2 earthquake is 10x stronger than a 4.1 earthquake. Therefore, a magnitude 8.5 EQ is 100x stronger than a 7.5 EQ.
How much more energy does a Richter magnitude 6 release compared to a magnitude 3?
Every change of 1 on the Richter scale increases the amplitude of the measured seismic waves of the earthquake by a factor of 10 and the energy released scales with the shaking amplitude based on the following: Change in energy released = (10^Md)^(3/2) Where Md = difference in magnitude between two earthquakes (in the example above this is 3.0) Therefore a magnitude 6.0 earthquake releases (10^3.0)^(3/2) = 31,622 times more nergy than a magnitude 3.0 earthquake and has seismic waves with 1000 times larger amplitude.
What is the difference between 83 and 6?
Subtract 6 from 83 and you get 77. This is the difference between them.
What is the difference between -2 and -4?
2
What is the difference between two numbers?
The difference between two numbers is the second number subtracted from the first number.For example:The difference between 15 and 6 is 915-6=9
Can the difference of two integers is always positive?
NO. It depends on which you are subtracting from which. For example, the difference between 8 and 6 is 2 (8 - 6 = 2) but the difference between 6 and 8 is -2 (6 - 8 = -2).
