什么是 Magnitude?

Definition 20.6 Primary & Middle School Earth and Space Sciences · 第 20 章 — Earthquakes

The magnitude of an earthquake measures its size: the energy released at the source. It is worked out from the seismograms. Each earthquake has a single magnitude, written with one decimal, such as 6.3 or 9.1.

示例

Example 20.9 (Magnitude 9 and magnitude 7)

The 2004 earthquake off Sumatra had a magnitude of 9.1. An earthquake of magnitude 7.1 is two steps smaller: it released about 32×32=102432 \times 32 = 1024, so about 1000 times, less energy.
