Earthquake Magnitude Categories
Earthquake magnitudes are measured on a logarithmic scale, where each whole number represents a tenfold increase in the earthquake’s power. Below are the categories and their impacts:
Micro (Less than 3.0)
- Typically not felt by people.
- Detectable only by sensitive seismographs. Minor (3.0 – 3.9)
- Often felt but rarely causes damage.
Light (4.0 – 4.9)
- Noticeable shaking of indoor items and rattling noises.
- Significant damage is unlikely. Moderate (5.0 – 5.9) • Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings in small regions.
- Well-designed buildings may experience slight damage.
Strong (6.0 – 6.9)
- Potentially destructive within 160 kilometers (100 miles) in populated areas.
Major (7.0 – 7.9)
- Capable of causing serious damage over larger areas.
Great (8.0 or Higher)
- Causes tremendous damage, impacting areas several hundred kilometers across.
Note: Negative magnitudes represent extremely small earthquakes, detectable only by sensitive instruments.
