Why is an earthquake in the ocean more dangerous than one on land?
An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land
What is more dangerous a tsunami or earthquake?
Earthquake itself is not dangerous if you know how to response. as long as you are on the right place, for example on an open place or inside seismic resistant buildings, etc you will be fine. Many people killed during earthquake because of panic and do wrong thing. tsunami triggered by underwater earthquake and off course more more more dangerous than earthquake. for example if there is no tsunami in sendai, miyagi, iwate area (march 11, 2011) the people killed will be not so significant. tsunami is the most dangerous natural disaster in the world.
What is more dangerous an earthquake on land or a tsunami caused by an earthquake?
A tsunami caused by an earthquake is generally more dangerous than the earthquake itself. Tsunamis can travel long distances in the ocean and cause widespread devastation when they hit coastal areas. They can inundate low-lying regions with powerful currents and flooding, resulting in significant loss of life and property damage.
What is the difference between a 5.0 earthquake and a 6.0 earthquake?
The earthquake magnitude is a measure of the energy released during an earthquake. The scale is logarithmic, such that a magnitude of 6.0 releases about 32 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0 earthquake, and in turn more than 900 times more energy than a magnitude 4.0 earthquake.
An earthquake with magnitude 7.5 has how many more times the energy than a 6.5 earthquake?
Seismic energy increases by a factor of about 31.6 for each increase of magnitude, so a magnitude 3 earthquake has 31.6 times more energy released than a magnitude 2 earthquake.

Is an earthquake more dangerous than a flood disaster?
yes they destroy lots of land thats why it is listed under the natrual disaster list
What waves are more dangerous in an earthquake?
Generally, long-period surface waves such as Love waves and Rayleigh waves are more dangerous during an earthquake as they cause the most destruction to structures and infrastructure. These waves have the ability to shake the ground horizontally and vertically, leading to significant ground movement and potential building collapse.
Why is it more dangerous to drive at night than at daytime?
Because it's easier to miss things in the dark and not see them

Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes

Seismic energy increases by a factor of about 31.6 for each increase of magnitude, so a magnitude 3 earthquake has 31.6 times more energy released than a magnitude 2 earthquake.
Why is a 6.0 magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake?
Because the "magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic (its numbers are an order of magnitude apart) this mean that the a magnitude 6 earthquake is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 5 earthquake and a HUNDRED TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
