Why is a six point zero magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a five point zero magnitude earthquake?
Each increase in magnitude represents a factor of 10, ie mag 6 is 100 times more powerful than mag 4.
Is it possible to have an event that causes more than one hazardous process to occur?
It is possible to have an event that causes more than one hazardous process to occur. An example is the landslide in Myanmar. Because of the heavy rains, a flood and landslide can both occur. Another example can be seen in the game Sim City. If there is an earthquake in the town, the earthquake can cause fires by the power lines.

Performing more than one roles. Having more than one areas of responsibility or activity. Performing more than one roles. Having more than one areas of responsibility or activity.
Why are tectonic and volcanic earthquake more destructive than earthquakes caused by landslides?
Barrels are somehow involved.
Why is a 6.0 magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake?
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.
Why is 6.0 magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake?
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.
Why Richter Scale is Non-Linear?
The Richter scale is not a linear scale. This means that an earthquake of magnitude 6 does not have twice as destructive power as the earthquake of magnitude 3. Actually, an earthquake with magnitude 5 is ten times more destructive than an earthquake of magnitude 4. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale.
How many people were injured in the San Fernando Earthquake of 1971?
The San Fernando Earthquake of 1971 was a very destructive earthquake. It lasted only about a minute, but in that time, it killed 65 people, and injured more than 2,000.
Why is a six point zero magnitude earthquake so much more destructive than a five point zero magnitude earthquake?
Each increase in magnitude represents a factor of 10, ie mag 6 is 100 times more powerful than mag 4.
What is the comparative of destructive?
more destructive than
How many earthquakes do we detect each year and how many cause damage?
a magnitude 7.2 earthquake produces 10 times more ground motion than a magnitude 6.2 earthquake, but it releases about 32 times more energy. The energy release best indicates the destructive power of an earthquake.
Why was the 1906 earthquake in Northern California more destructive than the 1857 earthquake in Southern California?
The 1906 earthquake was a very strong one at 7 on the Rictor scale and the buildings were not safe. Actually the resulting fire from broken gas lines did more damage to the city than the quake. There are buildings today in San Francisco that still have damage from the quake.
Which one is stronger a earthquake or a tornado?
It's a bit hard to say. as the two are so different. In terms of both destructive potential and energy it varies. However, most powerful earthquakes release far more energy and are more destructive than the most powerful tornadoes.
Is an earthquakes faster than tornadoes?
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
Why might an earthquake be more destructive in a populated area than an unpopulated area?
Because in a populated area, you have all of the buildings and sculptures, but an unpopulated area is just plants and trees, and those can regrow.
