What was the Haitian earthquake of January 2010 rated on the Richter scale and Moment magnitude scale?
The Richter or local magnitude scale of the Haitian earthquake has been reported as 7.2. and the Moment magnitude as 7.0 (according to the U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center).Please see the related questions for further information about the Haitian earthquake and it's magnitude and severity.7.0 magnitutes
What was the Richter magnitude of the Haitian earthquake that occurred on the 12th of January 2010?
The Richter or local magnitude scale of the Haitian earthquake has been reported as 7.2. However the Richter Magnitude Scale is no longer the formal scale used for reporting earthquake magnitude having been replaced by the Moment Magnitude Scale.As such, the official strength of the January 12, 2010, quake on the Moment Magnitude Scale was 7.0, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center.Please see the related questions for further information about the Haitian earthquake and it's magnitude and severity.
How many days after the Haitian earthquake did the aftershocks follow?
The two largest aftershocks from the Haitian earthquake had a magnitude of 6.0 and 5.9. The magnitude 6.0 aftershock occurred 7 minutes after the main earthquake on the 12th of January and the magnitude 5.9 aftershock occurred at 11:03 GMT on the 20th of January. Please see the related questions for more information.
What is the difference between the Haitian earthquake and the Chilean earthquake?
The two earthquakes occurred due to differing types of fault movement (thrust faulting in the Chilean quake vs strike slip faulting in the Haitian quake) and at two differing types of plate boundaries. In the case of the Chilean earthquake, this was at a convergent boundary where the Nazca oceanic plate is being subducted under the continental South American plate as opposed to the Haitian earthquake which occurred at a transform boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates which are both moving east but at differing speeds. The Haitian earthquake was also of lower magnitude (magnitude 7.0) than the Chilean earthquake (magnitude 8.8) however it caused more damage and led to a much larger number of injuries and fatalities due to the poor construction techniques used in Haiti. Please see the related questions for more information.
