He's supposed to do that when the tsunami takes him in his sleep.

Strong. Difference in power from a 6.0 to a 7.0 is about 32x in released energy. That would make the recent Japan earthquake(9.0) about 32,000+ times more powerful than a 6.0.
That is VERY misleading. I guarantee you that a 9.0 does not feel 32,000 times more powerful than a 6.0 and it also doesn't do 32,000 times the damage....NOT EVEN CLOSE!

I don't think Yellowstone is gonna blow but I do know that anyone on here would shite their fricking pants in a 6.7!

No...it isn't. For those of that didn't fail grade school math, earthquake magnitudes work off of a 10-base log scale. So the energy (you are thinking amplitude) of earthquakes to each successive magnitude releases ~32x more energy. 6.0 to a 9.0 is three orders of magnitude so 32 * 32 * 32 is 32,768. I guarantee you, if you go read a book or two, this will make sense.

Pfft. I don't even get out of bed in the morning for a 6.7. 8.5 or don't waste my time.
But that's just me. I'm kind of a badass.

Put down your books and experience a decent sized earthquake. If a 9.0 was 32,000 times a 6.0 there would be nothing left on this planet.

How many 6.7+ earthquakes have you felt?
Posted on 4/23/14 at 11:46 pm to Clames
exclamation points >>> math

0.2 Magnitude boom.
Should be more worried about the recent activity in Chile. Their last major shake was a 9.5.

Notice I said it wouldn't FEEL 32,000x worse or cause 32,000x as much DAMAGE....I didn't say it wouldn't be 32,000x as powerful.

That Seattle quake that I recently told you about that we experienced in 2001 and destroyed my company was a 6.8.

Right....and this clown is saying it would cause over 10,000 times as much damage!

No my OP was very carefully worded. I have been in earthquakes that were technically 100x more powerful than others but they felt the same and did the same damage.

yeah, quakes are weird things. Depth baby
