[quote:Children of the Atom:MV8xODE0MTIyXzMwMTk0NjEwXzlCMDRBMzZB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1183343:MV8xODE0MTIyXzMwMTk0NDk5XzI5ODU0NUE4] For each .1 in magnitude, doesn't the strength of the quake double? And the energy released is 3X as much, I think. [/quote] Earthquakes are logarithmic and each .1 is a 10x times strong than the previous. So in simple terms a 5.1 is 1000x stronger than a 5.0 *corrected typo* [/quote]
