Speaking of Major Seismic Events, Did You hear about the Magnitude 22.0

Earthquake

! Star "ars !na#og$

A couple of months ago (on Christmas actually, Merry Christmas Geologists!) the USGS, whichreleases customized arthua"e #otifications $ased on a users settings, released the news that a

magnitude %%&' earthua"e ust struc" Montana (pictured $elow)&

 #ow this was clearly a typo& t was meant to $e %&%, howe*er, it does $ring up an interesting

con*ersation&(+ou can see the updated page -)& .hat is a Magnitude %% earthua"e capa$leof/& Some of the comments on my 0ace$oo" post included (names abbreviated to protect their

identities, if you want your name un-abbreviated, let me know)1

Steve %& 2oo"s li"e #3C now has the plot for the completion of it4s earthua"e trilogy& 0irst it

was 56'&75&&&then 56'&7 Apocalypse5&&&now5 Montana %%&' the day the arth went $oom5&&&all

staring 3eau 3ridges as 3eau 3ridges acting li"e an authority figure&

'$#er S.& t wasn4t flattened, there4s a new 8 "m high fault scarp&

'homas (.& Mag %%&'/ mpressi*e! 9he Chic:ulu$ mpact should ha*e produced only a 6'&;!

'homas (.& A %%&' should ha*e toppled e*ery $uilding on the planet, and pro$a$ly caused

mountains all o*er the world to collapse into piles of ru$$le& At least&

Monica S.& <ust as a reference, a Mw 6'&' would ha*e a rupture length roughly eual to 6=> of

the planet4s circumference& 9hat is why a 6'&' could physically ne*er happen& A 6'&7 would

rupture around the arth 6&7 times& (f that mo*ie 6'&7 were real, arth would ha*e $een

o$literated)& 9his is assuming a ma: rupture depth of ?' "m& Mw %% is ?68,%%@,@88,'68 timesmore powerful than a 6'&7&

9o understand the audacity of a Magnitude %%&' earthua"e, lets gi*e some earthua"e $asics&

9he measure of an earthua"e4s magnitude is essentially eui*alent to the energy released during

the initial rupture of the fault ( "now they are not e:actly the same, $ut it is close enough)&

dentification of earthua"es often start with a Magnitude %&' and go up to a Magnitude 6', withthe largest recorded earthua"e in history $eing a Magnitude &7&

9he magnitude scale specifically measures the amplitude of the of the wa*es released from anearthua"e (USGS)& 9he Moment Magnitude scale, as it is called (replaced the -ichter Scale), is

a logarithmic scale& As it goes up one num$er the size of the amplitude increased $y a factor of

6'& 9o ma"e it a little easier to understand you can compare this to the energy released& So, each

whole num$er is ?6&8%%?% times more powerful than the last one (i&e& a magnitude ? is ?6&8%%times more powerful than a magnitude %)&

0or energy comparisons, let us con*ert the amount of energy to <oules that is released from anearthua"e& 9he largest earthua"e e*er recorded was the Chilean &7& 9hat would ha*e released

6&6% : 6'B6 oules of energy& 9he iroshima nuclear $om$ released 8&? : 6'B6? oules of

energy $y comparison (.i"ipedia), uite a $it less than a &7 earthua"e& #ow a magnitude %%earthua"e is 6%&7 degrees of magnitude larger than a &7& So calculating it would mean that it

would $e ?6&88%B6%&7 more powerful than a &7 (7&@ : 6'B6; times more powerful)& 9his euates

to 8&?6 : 6'B?@ oules of energy (calculated here1
