The Richter scale is logarithmic, meaning that whole-number jumps indicate a tenfold increase.Just like the decibel scale.
I found an explanation to my question and still confused. It said an 8 scale is 10 times stronger than a 7. So a 9.2 would be 1200 times stronger than a 7?
Or would that be 22 time stronger?
My head hurts.
