FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How is magnitude measured?
Magnitude is based on the released seismic energy and uses a logarithmic scale. An increase of one magnitude represents roughly 32 times more energy release.
What role does depth play?
Shallow quakes (<70 km) often cause stronger surface damage, while deeper quakes are widely felt but less destructive.
Why do some quakes appear twice?
When magnitudes tie, the more recent quake is ranked higher, so two quakes of the same strength can both appear.
