How much stronger is a 8.0 earthquake than a 5.0 earthquake?
400 Times ___________________ The above may very well be correct; my understanding is that every whole number up represents about a 10-fold increase in energy of a quake. One would conclude that the quake of rating 8 is 10,000 times stronger than a quake of 4. ___________________ 10,000 times is the correct answer
How strong is a magnitude 8 earthquake compared to a 7?
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a magnitude 7 earthquake in terms of energy released. The shaking and potential damage caused by a magnitude 8 earthquake would be significantly greater than that of a magnitude 7 earthquake.
Why an earthquake of magnitude -3 can cause more damage than a quake of a magnitude -6?
-6 is less than -3. -3+3 does not equal negative 6 it equals zero. but if we were talking about a .3 and .6 than the quakes were labeled incorrectly. the higher up on the Richter the damage was caused
What is the difference Between a Richter magnitude 4.0 and 5.0 earthquake in terms of wave amplitude and energy released?
The Richter Scale is a logarithmic (base 10) scale, so each whole number increase (or decrease) is a tenfold change.A 5.0 quake is ten times as powerful as a 4.0.
How bad would a 5 magnitude earthquake be?
Well, consider this; Haiti was devastated by a magnitude 8.9 earthquake. A magnitude 5 could either be worse, or better than that. It depends where the earthquake hits. If it strikes a overpopulated city, then the death toll and destruction would be high. If it hits a remote area, the quake could go unnoticed and unharmful.
What would be the magnitude of an quake that is 32 times stronger than a 6.2 quake?
7.6
Can you give a sentence wih quake?
Example sentences: Noun: We felt the quake at the mall; the whole building shook. Verb: My whole body would quake with nerves when I said my lines.
What do you mean when you say 8.9 magnitude quake?
Here's a brief answer to a very involved topic. The Richter scale (not the only method of rating earthquakes) is commonly used. Generally, every increase in whole units represents a ten-fold increase in the amount of ground vibration of the event. A quake of 8.9 has 10 times more shaking than a quake of 7.9. It would have 100 times more shaking than a quake of magnitude 6.9, and 1,000 times more than a quake of 5.9.Regarding the total energy output of the event at the epicenter (where the quake actually begins), there is roughly a 30-fold increase in energy for every whole unit increase in the Richter scale. So an 8.9 quake released 30 times more energy than a 7.9 quake, and 900 times (30X30) the energy output of a 6.9 quake. It would contain an unimaginable 27,000-fold output of a 5.9 quake. The Japan quake of March 2011 has been finally rated as a 9.0 quake, and many believe that this is near the upper limits of what an earthquake can ever register.

Is a 7.0 earthquake medium earthquake?
A low earthquake is 1-3 magnitude, a medium earthquake is 4-6 magnitude and a high earthquake is 7+ magnitude.No. A 7.0 magnitude quake would be considered a "major" quake.Here is the scale of earthquake magnitude classes:ClassMagnitudeGreat8 or moreMajor7 - 7.9Strong6 - 6.9Moderate5 - 5.9Light4 - 4.9Minor3 -3.9

How many tsunamis have made the US worst earth quake list?
A tsunami is caused by an earthquake, which means that the earthquake would make the Earthquake list. Whether the list would include information on the created tsunami is unknown. Magnitude doesn't always correlate directly to the magnitude of the earthquake nor does it have a direct relationship with the number of deaths or the amount of destruction caused.The highest magnitude Earthquake was recorded in Chile in 1960 with a Magnitude of 9.5. ThisEarthquake created a tsunami that was initially 82 feet high, diminished to 35 feet when it hit the island of Hilo and only 15 feet when it reached Japan.The 2nd worst recorded Earthquake occurred December 26th, 2004 Earthquake Magnitude 9.1-9.3.This quake created 5 tsunamis.The largest/tallest recorded tsunami was created by a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that generated a wave 1720 feet high.
What does the rmdir -rf quake command do in Linux?
It would delete the directory ./quake, and all of it's contents.
Geography words that start with a Q?
You could use Quake as in an Earthquake, but Quake would be a good one.
What was the magnitude of the earth quake that hit haiti?
7.0. That is STRONG, plus the focus was near earth's surface, so it felt stronger than an earthquake with a 7.0 magnitude but with a focus closer to the middle of the earth would feel.
