Earthquakes are measured on 2 different scales The Richter Scale – measures the magnitude of the earthquake on a scale of 1 – 10. Each point on the scale is: 10x bigger in size (or amplitude) 30x the energy released The Mercalli Scale – measures the damage done at a particular location on a scale I – XII I (not felt) – XII (total destruction) Do now : copy Monday, June 27, 2022

How much bigger is the amplitude of a magnitude 4.0 earthquake compared to a magnitude 8.0 earthquake?

10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000 times bigger

How much more energy is released?

30 x 30 x 30 x 30 = 810,000 times the energy
