 Earthquakes are the vibrations caused by rocks breaking under stress. The
underground surface along which the rock breaks and moves is called a fault plane.
The size or magnitude of earthquakes is determined by measuring the
amplitude of the seismic waves recorded on a seismograph and the distance of the
seismograph from the earthquake. These are put into a formula which converts them
to a magnitude, which is a measure of the energy released by the earthquake. For
every unit increase in magnitude, there is roughly a thirty-fold increase in the energy
released.
A magnitude 8.6 earthquake releases energy equivalent to about 10 000
atomic bombs of the type developed in World War II. Fortunately, smaller earthquakes
occur much more frequently than large ones and most cause little or no damage.
Earthquake magnitude was traditionally measured on the Richter scale. It is
often now calculated from seismic moment, which is proportional to the fault area
multiplied by the average displacement on the fault.
The focus of an earthquake is the point where it originated within the Earth.
The earthquake epicentre is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus.
