Question regarding earthquake calcs.

[MaybeWantsToEdit]

In this page, Earthquake Calculations, it has you go to this site to get the first values for the Natural Earthquakes calc on the section of that page with the same name.

The page says "Instead of looking at the 'Energy' section, one looks at the 'Seismic Effects' section again. There a value named 'Richter Scale Magnitude'".

However on the calculator site, there's no "Energy" or "Seismic Effects" section, and there's no "Richter Scale Magnitude". I checked both the first calculator site, and the Earthquake Energy Calculator, and theres no such mention of these sections.

Did the website get updated after the page was made or something?

Bump.

The "Richter Scale Magnitude" is the image in step 2 of the earthquake page (at the left is the magnitude and at the right is the effect of said magnitude), once you know the magnitude to use based on the effects you put said value in the earthquake calculator in the part that say Earthquake Magnitude with red text, then the Total "Seismic Moment Energy" is the ap from a natural earthquake of such magnitude.

That's all? The range of the earthquake doesn't matter? If so, tysm

For natural ones, for artificial ones that aren't caused from something similar to a meteor impact is option 3 of the page, the Radiated Waves method.

Alright, thanks!
