Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If a magnitude 7.0 earthquake releases 31.6 times more energy than a magnitude 6.0 earthquake, how much more energy does a magnitude 8.0 earthquake typically release compared to a magnitude 6.0 quake?
💡 Hint: Recall the logarithmic relationship in the Richter Scale.
Question 2
Discuss how engineers might use the Moment Magnitude Scale data to design earthquake-resistant buildings in high-magnitude zones.
💡 Hint: Think about the scale factors that influence building designs.
