Estimate the total energy released by an earthquake based on its Moment Magnitude (Mw).
Energy (Joules)
TNT Equivalent
Scale Comparison
The Logarithmic Scale: An increase of 1 unit in magnitude corresponds to approximately **32 times** more energy release. A M7.0 earthquake is about 1,000 times more powerful than a M5.0.
