There are 5 great lakes. The order of magnitude of the number 5 is 0. Order of magnitude is determined by powers of 10. So, 150 would be order of magnitude of 2, since you could write 150 as 1.5 * 102. Similarly, 5 can be written as 5 * 100, so the order of magnitude is 0.

figure it out
Because the "magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic (its numbers are an order of magnitude apart) this mean that the a magnitude 6 earthquake is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 5 earthquake and a HUNDRED TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
