Calculates the magnitude difference and energy ratio between two earthquakes.
Magnitude M
Earthquake a

Earthquake b

Calculation Formula

An increase in magnitude of 1 results in approximately 32 times the energy, and an increase of 2 results in 1000 times the energy. 1 joule is the energy required to move an object 1 meter with a force of 1 newton (1 J = 1 N * m).


\(\normalsize Magnitude\\ (1)\hspace{10px} \log_{10}J=4.8+1.5M\\ (2)\hspace{10px} \Delta M=M_a-M_b\\ (3)\hspace{10px} {\large\frac{J_a}{J_b}}=10^{1.5(M_a-M_b)}\\ \)
