Earthquake Magnitude Power Comparison

In this 5th episode, we compare the power released for the biggest earthquakes, from an everyday 2.0 earthquake, to a 5.0 objects shifting quake, we get a visualization of how powerful certain quakes are.

Each increase in magnitude is 33 times more powerful than the previous one.

Dear viewers, thank you for being so sharp and able to detect a few minor details withing the first 10 minutes or so.

Thus, changes have been made according to the country for the last earthquake and the year of the San Francisco Earthquake. Additionally, the volume at the start is tuned down heavily and the background is modified to give a more stunning visual.

Thanks for the support! Next in the series will be the comparison of a phenomenon that can create tornados, earthquakes, tsunamis & volcanos all together! You are welcome to suggest others!

Who else is here after the 13.0 earthquake 65 million years ago?

[dot]

Land: *exist*

Tectonic plates: I dont like how that looks imma just move that a little

[RochakJaankari]

13 magnitude earthquake: only kids 65 million years old can understand.

[Defosaur]

as a chilean myself i must say: the fact that we don't react as most people expect is obviously related to the frequency in which we have earthquakes, but also to the way buildings have to be made in order to resist sismic activity. The buildings tend to dance around rather than collapse on themselves, that way a 5 or even a 7 won't cause devastation like it would on countries not equiped for earthquakes.

[Hyurno]

if it's below 6, it can hardly be called an earthquake in Chile

[mmahoho]

maybe if the dinosaurs were chilean they wouldn't have died

[soawn]

Yesterday and today earthquake hit Croatia at magitude of 6.3, its scary so dont make fun of that, people get hurt here, many homes and buildings are very damaged

[cakie]

Time traveler: Hey when we are?
Chilean: 21 may 1960
Time traveler: Oh so right before the biggest earthquake on Earth?
Chilean:THE...WHAT

[empanadadequeso]

There’s one rule for the earthquakes:
If you see a Chilean person running you must run as fast as possible

[johngalt]

Praying for people in Turkiye. Herşey iyi olacak, Allah yardimci olsun! Tüm Kazakistan sizinle.

3:43 As a Chilean and Valdivian citizen, this is one of my biggest fears since the "Riñihuaso" (a problem with a river that the earthquake make) almost eat my whole town. But at the same time, the other ones doesn't scare me, we are used to this kind of movements, we can even tell you how strong was one by feeling it

Magnitude 1 Only seismographs can detect them

*dogs have entered the chat*

[CamilaCuevas]

(8.0 earthquake)

Me, an average chilean siting on the sofa:
*posts in facebook with a straight face*
duuuudeee what a crazy temblor
*keeps playing*

[YOFLEX]

Who else is here after Turkey earthquake?

[budgarner]

Very well thought out presentation. Moving previous diagram using the lower left corner as tangents to the circle. Seeing the exponential increase of the Richter scale is so helpful. Nice touch using recent historical events to tie news to the scale. Very well done!

[splat-a-tat]

"Lava tsunamis"
Dear dinosaurs, thank you for taking one for the team.

[DiegoTorresNavarro]

My mother was living in Valdivia 1960, and she said: there is no word to describe the fear, the main earthquake destroyed everything during almost 10 minutes.

As a Japanese, I'm sad to see what happened back in 2011. I experienced a big earthquake and tsunami, it was not the Fukushima aftershock.

[markolalic]

Croatia:Earthquake 6, 2 magnitude, 5, 7 Magnitude
Japan: Am I a joke to you?
