What happens when strength of an earthquake goes from a 4 to a 5 to a 6?

The Richter scale is logarithmic, so 5-magnitude is 10 times as strong as 4-magnitude, and 6-magnitude is 100 times as strong.

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 a large earthquake rated on the moment magnitude scale?

Earthquakes with a magnitude greater than or equal to 6 are termed strong earthquakes. 7 or larger are termed major earthquakes. Earthquakes greater than or equal to 8 are termed great earthquakes. The term "large" is not actually used.However based on the above it could be argued that any earthquake with a magnitude greater than 6 is a large earthquake.
