Suppose that an earthquake registered approximately 1012 joules of energy. What is its magnitude on a Richter scale? How much more energy does this earthquake release than the reference earthquake (104.40)? A R= 1.1; 1,665,341 times more energy than the reference earthquake. R= 5.1; 39,785,598 times more energy than the reference earthquake. ©R=5.1; 39,810,717 times more energy than the reference earthquake. R=6.3; 42,413,897 times more energy than the reference earthquake.
