text: Although the mass media commonly reports earthquake magnitudes as "Richter magnitude" or "Richter scale", standard practice by most seismological authorities is to express an earthquake's strength on the moment magnitude scale, which is based on the actual energy released by an earthquake.
text: This is so because the energy released in an earthquake, and thus its magnitude, is proportional to the area of the fault that ruptures and the stress drop.
text: These are put into a formula which converts them to a magnitude, which is a measure of the energy released by the earthquake.
text: The great plates are rough and stick together, building up energy that is released as earthquakes.
text: According to Tad Murty, vice-president of the Tsunami Society, the total energy of the tsunami waves was equivalent to about 5 megatons of TNT (21 PJ), which is more than twice the total explosive energy used during all of World War II (including the two atomic bombs) but still a couple of orders of magnitude less than the energy released in the earthquake itself.
text: Comparative energy released by two earthquakes [ edit ]
text: The total amount of energy released by an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale.
text: The Richter and MMS scales measure the energy released by an earthquake; another scale, the Mercalli intensity scale, classifies earthquakes by their effects, from detectable by instruments but not noticeable, to catastrophic.
text: It is related to the total energy released by an earthquake.
text: The intensity differs from the magnitude which is related to the energy released by an earthquake.
text: The Richter magnitude scale, also known as the local magnitude (M) scale, assigns a number to quantify the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake.
text: the moment magnitude scale measures the total energy released by an earthquake.
text: The Richter Magnitude Scale measures the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake.
text: This method measures the total energy released by an earthquake and so more accurately reflects its magnitude.
text: the moment magnitude scale measures the total energy released by an earthquake.
text: What is the difference in the amount of energy released by an earthquake that is a 7.2 versus an 8.2 in magnitude?
text: This is a logarithmic scale that measures the total energy released by an earthquake.
text: This is important because the energy released by earthquakes can vary by a factor of quadrillions.
text: Basically, magnitude is a number representing the total energy released in an earthquake, said seismologist Lucy Jones.
text: The Mw scale is related to the total energy released in an earthquake.
text: Within the Earth, the focal point of the energy released in an earthquake is called the hypocentre or focus.
text: The Richter scale measures the magnitude of the largest jolt of energy released in an earthquake.
text: According to scientists and seismologists, 80 percent of the energy released in earthquakes originates in the Circum-Pacific Belt.
text: This seismic belt is responsible for 15 percent of the energy released in earthquakes around the world.
text: The currently accepted method is the moment magnitude scale, which measures the total amount of energy released by the earthquake.
