Probably Magnitude 10.
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.
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
There is no direct correlation between deaths and magnitude. It all depends on the earthquake's location in terms of population areas, and depth.A 6.5 magnitude quake directly under a large city, might kill 50,000, but an 8.5 magnitude quake situated slightly further away from the city might only kill 500 or so.
The whole world destroy
Then the things that "liked" that climate would spread out throughout the whole world.

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.
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.
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.
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

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.
The energy released by an earthquake increases by 10x for every 1.0 increase in magnitude on the Richter scale. A 6.2 quake is 2.0 higher than a 4.2 quake. The increase in energy output would be calculated as such: 10x10=100. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake is 100 times more powerful than a 4.2 magnitude earthquake.
It depends on the magnitude of an earthquake. For example, a 2.0 magnitude earthquake would virtually kill no one and cause little to no damage. However, a 9.0 earthquake could kill thousands and destroy whole cities.

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.
It would delete the directory ./quake, and all of it's contents.
You could use Quake as in an Earthquake, but Quake would be a good one.
