We find out that a magnitude of 7.1 is 20 times bigger (on a seismogram, in terms of amplitudes) and ~89 times stronger (in terms of energy release) than a 5.8 magnitude. Remember that for each unit increase in magnitude: TheNational Seismic Hazards Mapping project provides an online Web tool for determining the probability of a large earthquake within 50 kilometers (~31 miles) of a specific location in the United States over a certain time period. The calculation is based on the latest available information from seismic hazard data. However, asking if it's safe to travel somewhere
A10.0 on the Richter scale would be equivalent to an earthquake releasing the energy of 63 EJ, or 15 gigatons of TNT. This is an amount of energy that has never been recorded and would require a very large fault line to release it. The resulting earthquake would shake the ground incredibly hard and could potentially last up to 30 minutes.
Nomagnitude 10.0 earthquake has ever been observed. The most powerful earthquake recorded was a magnitude 9.5 temblor in Chile in 1960. However, a magnitude 10.0 earthquake would likely cause ground motions for up to an hour, with tsunamis hitting while the shaking is still ongoing.
