Question
Radiated seismic energy from an earthquake is estimated by log E = 3.8+1.7M, where E is the energy in Joules (3) and Mis
surface wave magnitude.
(a) How many times more energy does an 8.4-magnitude earthquake have than a 5.5-magnitude earthquake? Round to the
nearest thousand.
(b) How many times more energy does a 5-magnitude earthquake have than a 4-magnitude earthquake? Round to the nearest
whole number.
Part 1 of 2
An 8.4-magnitude earthquake has approximately
times more energy than a 5.5-
magnitude earthquake.
Part 2 of 2
A S-magnitude earthquake has approximately
times more energy than a 4-magnitude
earthquake.
