155/6 = 25 with a remainder of 5
155 ÷ 25 = 6 with remainder 5 or 6.2
100 times
A magnitude 6 earthquake emits roughly 31 times more energy than a magnitude 5 earthquake. The magnitude 6 quake will also have a maximum seismic wave amplitude of ten times the magnitude 5 earthquake.
The Richter scale is logarithmic, so 5-magnitude is 10 times as strong as 4-magnitude, and 6-magnitude is 100 times as strong.
6% of 155= 6% * 155= 0.06 * 155= 9.3
A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1,000 times stronger than a magnitude 6 earthquake in terms of energy released. It can cause significantly more damage and have a larger impact on structures and the environment.
1000 times as much
The energy output of a magnitude 6 earthquake is approximately 32 times greater than that of a magnitude 5 earthquake. Magnitude scales such as the Richter scale are logarithmic, so each whole number increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude and approximately 32 times more energy release.
It's based on a logarithmic scale. A magnitude 7 releases 32 times more energy than a magnitude 6. Each 1.0 increase in magnitude is 32 times the energy release. An increase in 2.0 on the scale is 1000.
