Measuring Earthquakes
The moment magnitude scale is used to measure earthquakes.
Measures magnitude
- The moment magnitude scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake by measuring how much energy it releases.
Logarithmic
- The scale is logarithmic.
- This means that it goes up in tens. So 2 on the scale is 10x stronger than 1, and 3 is 10x stronger than 2.
Magnitude 1-10
- We have never seen an earthquake with a magnitude larger than 9.5.
- Earthquakes with a magnitude of 7 or more often cause a lot of damage and deaths.
