 * NOTES:**

Energy Release, E

In 1956, Gutenberg and Richter developed the following equation to approximate the earthquake energy radiated, E (in ergs), as a function of earthquake magnitude, M:

Log10E = 11.8 + 1.5M

Based on this equation, each whole number increase in Richter magnitude would represent an approximate 32-fold increase in the amount of energy radiated. A M7.0 earthquake would radiate approximately 1,000 times more energy than a M5.0 earthquake. Theoretically, it would take approximately 1,000 M5.0 earthquakes to release the amount of energy of a single M7.0 earthquake
