Earthquake Magnitude Categories
Earthquake magnitudes are measured on a logarithmic scale, where each whole number represents a tenfold increase in the earthquake’s power.
- Micro (Less than 3.0): Often not felt, but detectable by seismographs.
- Minor (3.0-3.9): Often felt, but rarely cause damage.
- Light (4.0-4.9): Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely.
- Moderate (5.0-5.9): Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings.
- Strong (6.0-6.9): Can be destructive in areas up to about 160 kilometers (100 miles) across in populated areas.
- Major (7.0-7.9): Can cause serious damage over larger areas.
- Great (8.0 or higher): Can cause tremendous damage in areas several hundred kilometers across.
Note: Negative magnitudes represent extremely small earthquakes, detectable only by sensitive instruments.
