How much greater is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake than in comparison to a 6.0 earthquake
Definition1/15

The difference in magnitude is 1 (7-6). However this represents a difference in the seismic wave amplitude of 10 times. And a difference in energy of 31 times.

As such a magnitude 7 earthquake has seismic waves with an amplitude 1 times greater than a magnitude 6 and with 31 times the energy.

How do clastic rocks differ from non-clastic rocks in terms of process of formation
Definition1/15

Clastic rocks are composed of broken pieces of older rocks that have been broken up by the process of weathering and are therefore sedimentary in nature. The "clasts" (bits of older rock) may vary in size.
