How does magnitude of an earthquake related to the energy from the Earth's interior?​

Sagot :

Answer:

From these calculations you can see that each increase in 1 in Magnitude represents a 31 fold increase in the amount of energy released. Thus, a magnitude 7 earthquake releases 31 times more energy than a magnitude 6 earthquake.

Answer: The amount of energy radiated by an earthquake is a measure of the potential for damage to man-made structures. While each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the measured amplitude, it represents an 32 times more energy release.
