No, a 7.0 is twice as powerful as a 6.0 which is twice as powerful as a 5.0 etc etc
Richter scale is a log scale. Each number is a factor of 10. When the number goes up the damage goes up 10 times as fast.
2 = 10 x level 1
3 = 100 x level 1
4 = 1000 x level 1
5 = 10000 x level 1
6 = 100000 x level 1
7 = 1000000 x level 1
