Statment between the magnitude of a earthquake and how often earthquakes of the magnitude occur?
One statement you could write is that "Earthquakes of higher magnitudes are much rarer than those of lower magnitudes". The magnitude of earthquakes is a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude of 8 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 7. This is why earthquakes of higher magnitudes are so much rarer than those of lower magnitudes.
How much more energy is released in a 6.5 Richter magnitude earthquake than in one with a magnitude of 5.5?
A one-unit increase in Richter magnitude corresponds to a tenfold increase in amplitude and 31.6 times more energy released. Therefore, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake releases 31.6 times more energy than a 5.5 magnitude earthquake.
How does the magnitude change with each number on the scale?
Each number on the scale represents a tenfold increase in magnitude. For example, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5 is ten times stronger than one with a magnitude of 4, and one with a magnitude of 6 is one hundred times stronger than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
If you have a Richter magnitude of 5.0 how much bigger would a 6.0 be?
See the related link for answer. A 5 is 32 kilotons of TNT, a 6 is 1 megaton of TNT.
Which star is brighter one with a 6.3 magnitude or one with a magnitude of 1.4?
The smaller numbers indicate brighter stars. Also, a negative magnitude is even brighter than zero magnitude.
How much less energy does a magnitude 4 earthquake have than a magnitude 7?
Each increase by one magnitude corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times that released by the lesser earthquake.Since 7 is 3 magnitudes higher than 4, the magnitude 4 earthquake has roughly 1/31554th the energy of the magnitude 7.Each increase by one magnitude corresponds to a release of shaking amplitude 10 times that released by the lesser earthquake.Since 7 is 3 magnitudes higher than 4, the magnitude 4 earthquake has 1/1000th the shaking amplitude of the magnitude 7.The amount of energy changes much more rapidly with magnitude than the amount of shaking amplitude. This is a commonly made error.
Can a magnitude of vector greater than its components?
Unless the vector is one dimensional, or only valued along one base in a multidimensional space, in which case the magnitude is equal to it's components, a vector's magnitude has to be greater than its components.
Which star has the less absolute magnitude rigel or Sirius?
Sirius has a lower absolute magnitude than Rigel. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky with an absolute magnitude of 1.42, while Rigel has an absolute magnitude of -8.1, making it much brighter than Sirius.
Is there one word that means worse than?
The phrase 'worse than' is used in a comparative sentence.His writing is worse than mine.Words like inferior or second-rate can substitute for the phrase 'worse than'.His writing is inferior to mine.
What is the difference in strength between a 7.0 magnitude earthquake and a 9.0 magnitude earthquake?
-3.0 magnitude or if you want the ground motion: Each time the magnitude increases by one unit, the measured ground motion becomes 10 times larger. For example, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 on the Richter scale will produce 10 times as much ground motion as an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0. Furthermore, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 will produce 100 times as much ground motion (10 × 10) as an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0.
What is the strongest magnitude earthquake ever measured on the Richter magnitude?
The strongest earthquake that can be measured using the Richter magnitude scale is one with a magnitude of 8.0. For earthquakes larger than this, the moment magnitude scale must be used.
Can a vector have a component greater than its magnitude?
No a vector may not have a component greater than its magnitude. When dealing with highschool phyics problems, the magnitude is usually the sum of two or more components and one component will offset the other, causing the magnitude to be less then its component
