The intensity of an earthquake on the Richter scale is calculated using a logarithmic scale, where each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude and roughly 31.6 times more energy release. Thus, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake is about 10 times more intense than a 5.1 magnitude earthquake. Assuming the reference value of 1 corresponds to a magnitude of 0, the intensity of the 6.1 earthquake would be significantly higher, but specific intensity values require more context about the reference point and scale used.
What else can I help you with?
What two plates caused the earthquake?
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.
What was the original intensity of the light assuming it started out unpolarized?
The original intensity of unpolarized light is the total intensity of light waves vibrating in all possible directions.
Where are the intensity values of an earthquake usually higher?
Assuming all other properties are equal, the intensity of an earthquake is highest at it's epicentre and decreases with increasing distance from this point. In reality however the Earth's surface and subsurface is highly heterogeneous (in other words it is very variable - there are lots of differing types of soils and rocks with varying strengths and other physical properties). The amplitude of seismic waves (how strongly they shake the surface) is in turn strongly affected by the type of material through which they travel. For example the amplitude of seismic waves will be much higher in soft sediments such as soils than in hard rock masses such as granites. Because of this earthquake intensities may be highest in areas with "poor" ground conditions (such as the soft soils described above) even if they are a greater distance from the earthquake's epicentre.

What is formed when rocks slide along a cracks?
sounds like, if the rocks are plates, an earthquake... assuming this "crack" is a fault?? does this help?
What information could you get about an earthquake's location from only two seismic stations data?
By comparing the arrival times of the earthquake's waves at the two stations, you can determine the distance between the earthquake and each station. With this information, you can use triangulation to estimate the earthquake's location based on the intersection of the circles representing the distance between the earthquake and each station.
What rank do you have to be to wear the blood stipe?
Assuming this is a question in reference to the United States Marine Corps, Lance Corporal or higher.
Can a married person apply for domestic partner without first divorcing?
No. The only exception being if you are registering a domestic partnership in a state where your same-sex marriage is not legally recognized (assuming your marriage is same-sex).
Would it be a relief if you were in an airplane and found out there was an earthquake on the ground?
If you are flying in an airplane when an earthquake occurs, you will not feel it. It would be a relief to take off right before an earthquake struck the place you departed from, assuming you don't have any relatives or friends to worry about. Once airborne, your plane will still need a safe place to land, however.
What song did men near Long Lake still sing?
Assuming this is a reference to The Hobbit (and if not, be more specific!): They still sang songs of the days of the King under the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield's grandfather.
Is the vibration of an earthquake strongest where the earthquakes starts?
It certainly is. The point on the surface where the earthquake starts is the epicenter, located directly above the earthquake's focus point. The land nearest to the epicenter takes the most impact as the primary and secondary waves move outward and gradually weaken. Assuming that all buildings are the same, the buildings closest to the epicenter will always take the most damage.
Can previous employer volunteer legal information not relating to the job?
Only if individual has provided written consent to previous employer allowing them to provide this type of information. Assuming said contact is being used as an employment reference, NOT a personal reference.
