That's the most appropriate shirt ever worn on DNews.

Survived the 7.4 magnitude that hits palu 3 weeks ago. It was so scary and intense it even triggers a tsunami and in 3 spots moved an entire neighborhood kilometers away. Thousand was killed and we lived outside for about 2.5 weeks now the city is beginning to recover from the impact.. just a reminder that the earth we stood in is not as solid as we thought it is

Wow it's so interesting reading the comment section and seeing how many people have experienced earthquakes before. I live in the UK so we don't get any here but it must be crazy having one happen beneath your feet!

I'm from Denmark and we don't really have any fault lines near us. But one early morning a few years back, I was working on my computer and a quake hit our neighbours, Sweden. The quake was big enough to be registered in Denmark, but to me, it was like my desk chair was on the surface of a solid, slippery plate and someone decided to slightly move that plate underneath me, like the base of the chair moved a tiny fraction of an inch, only just enough to throw me out of my concentration while being completely stationary. None of my relatives felt it, as they were either asleep or already in motion, e.g. walking around their house, taking morning showers, etc. Hardly an earthquake, but still a cute reminder that the firm, solid ground beneath our feet, isn't all that solid as we tend to make it out to be.

just to emphasize the logarithmic scale here, log 1 is 10, log 2 is 100. So when you go from 1 to 2 in this scale, there is a increase of 90 units (100-10). Now, consider log 3 and log 4. Log 3 is 1000 and log 4 is 10000, although that's the same 10 fold increase, its a increase of 9000 units! And that is the main reason why there is such a huge difference between 7.3 and 7.8!

No, you reversed it : log 10 is 1 and log 100 is 2 !

I live in Christchurch, New Zealand. Since our initial 7.1 in sept 2010, we've had almost 15,000 aftershocks, two of which measured 6.3 and 6.4 centered just outside the city. On the Mercalli scale, one recorded X in the central city and X+ in surrounding suburbs. The quakes also had the second and third highest ground accelerations ever recorded of 2.2G (2.2 x the acceleration of gravity) and 2.13G.

Yes today and it was a 6.6, it’s expected to get and even worse one within the next 24hrs, I live in Puerto Rico btw

I am from Katmandu and I've experienced small forgettable shakes before, but this one was like mother nature going all batshit crazy on us. Saying that the ground shook would be a massive understatement, rather it flung us about and that too for a whole minute. On a side note, that shirt... I want one too.

This is a perfect revision video for my geography exam on Tuesday. Thanks Dnews :D

It's been a while but last time I was in Southern California in 1999/2000, we felt one. It got me wondering what happened. at first everything was shaking up and down side to side and in every direction, vibrating violently, and after a few long lasting moments everything started to swing just like rocking chair or a baby cradle - two different things all together. The earthquakes we felt in the late 80's and perhaps 1990, did not feel like that. They just shook - who knows how or in which direction. When I was a kid, I wasn't worried about having earthquakes but today I often wonder about everything that is going on around us. We use to have them often.

Thank you guys so very much! Very very helpful. :D

I live in Seldovia, AK. We had a 7.1 on the Richter scale happen with an epicenter 59 miles away. Since we live on bedrock, it was not felt much, probably only about a IV or V on the Mercalli.

I thought this was going to explain how seismographs worked... This was a lot less informative than I hoped.

There was an earthquake in Denmark.... it made me wake up so I went back to sleep the end

I was in the 8.8 earthquake of february of 2010 in Chile. It was really scary, but not as deadly as the one in Nepal.

Just had a 4.6 in Los Angeles!!! 09.18.2020 11:38pm

Iloilo, Philippines, 2012 a 7.0 (6.9) earthquake hit, it was an intensity VI, it was scary, at first, we felt a small jolt, suddenly, we were thrown up, down, side, to side, i can never forget that. I was 6 when it happened, hundreds of aftershocks followed for months. Though my hometown experiences at least 10 light to moderate earthquakes annually, a major earthquake definately isnt common. Just november of 2018, we felt magnitude 4.0, 4.6, 4.9 earthquakes. They ranged from intensity III to V, it was very intense since we were in the third floor of my school. Glass rattling stuffs falling, our lockers almost fell, and my classmate fainted, later that day, 8 more earthqaked ranging from 2.0 - 3.0 hit, i didn't feel the 2.0 earthqakes tho.

Okay so I learned a lot but I didn’t learn anything about how the Richter scale works and is measured..? Is there another video that explains that more In detail? I want to know what all goes into that

Well there was a magnitude 2.6 earthquake in Massachusetts in my city. I felt it a little bit. I balanced 3pecils and all of them fell after a second of letting them go

Interesting information. I experienced a strong earthquake in 2009. It was 4,7 Richter scale. Maby for some that would seem not that bad, but in my city earthquakes stronger than 4,5 so far and as much as i know, are rare. There wasn't much damage to buildings if any. But last year a 4,8 earthquake hit Catania in Italy and a lot of buildings were damaged. So i was surprised why did it cause that much damage. It must have been a lot of different factors involved than when the one that hit my city in 2009.

I was in a 5.2 in Barrie Ontario Canada on a 8th floor building about 100 km away from the main point, felt weird

I was in the 1971 San Fernando/Sylmar quake, and the 1994 Northridge quake. No damage where I was at.

I rember mom coming home from work telling me there was a woman at work said she felt an earthquake nearby in a town called "Burlington ". I told mom ,we're going to have an earthquake here in Toronto and that evening after 12 midnight I heard the sound of "ROCKS GRINDING AGAINST EACHOTHER " coming closer and louder then the house shook for about a 20 seconds . Years later in Ottawa we had magnitude 5.0 and I told dad we're having an earthquake , then about 3 minutes later the house really shook . My co worker told me his wife was at home in a 10th floor of 20 floor high-rise appartment and it really shook and things flew out of cupboards she was scared hehe was with kids all alone while husband was at work .

e had one in SW Michigan about two weeks ago, 4.2. First one I have experienced and was not sure what it was until I looked on Facebook, I wasn't scared just curious. The house shook and there was no damage.

I have only ever felt one earthquake, a couple of years ago in Tokyo. At the time I was in bed in a hotel with something of a hang-over and felt the room sway. I wasn't really sure if something was happening or it was just my hang-over. It was only later that day that I heard a news report about an earthquake in another part of Japan. My wife and friends who were all out and about didn't feel a thing. I suspect that the only reason I noticed was due to being in a high rise, laying down and feel so sensitive lol.

Isn't it the moment magnitude scale, not the richter scale? I thought that the Richter scale was replaced by the moment magnitude scale in the mid 20th century

You’re correct. The Richter scale was developed to describe California faults, and has been almost entirely superseded by the moment magnitude scale.

I was in an earthquake that me and my brother could barely feel. I was walking on this low wall when suddenly I just felt the ground vibrate a little. It was probably a II on the Mercalli scale since no damage was done. Both me and my brother felt it. 'Twas cool to experience a minor one :3

Can someone please explain to me how each value in a R scale for eg.. if quake with magnitude 2 is 10 times greater than magnitude 1. But how come that earthquake with magnitude 3 is 100 times greater than 2 and so on so forth.. how is that.. ??

I live in Japan, so yeah, I've experienced an earthquake... Frequently. Just want to know - when they say it was a 6.3 what does that mean?

I've only been in some really small scale earthquakes, just big enough to cause hanging things to move and stationary things to rattle a bit but not big enough to damage anything.

Just today I was in an earthquake. Nothing really was damaged, but I can safely say that most of us certainly felt shaken.

% points, on which end of the scale, remember those points are relative to each other..

Today morning my city was hit my an earthquake of 6.4 magnitude, it doesn’t seem to be strong by number but the feel was violent.

watching this after 6years from nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵

I lived through the 1985 and 2017 earthquakes in Mexico City, both falling on exactly the same date, as a matter of fact, the 2017 quake occured a couple of hours after a nationwide drill!!!...also I'm here because no recent times we've had quakes with epicenters below the city surface instead of the usual Pacific coast ones. Although much lower on the Richter scale, they are much more noticable but at a much lower number!!!

Yes dude!!! I just experienced one of them of magnitude 5.5.......thats why i am here searching for this stuff

I felt the 7.8 in New Zealand, Wellington in 2016

You guys should make a video on train technology development.

Here in Costa Rica, earthquakes are common, I've survived a 7.6, 5.8, 6.9, 6.4, 6.1, 7.6

I and my mother late felt the one that hit down Mexico about 5 yrs. ago and it was around Easter time when it hit but I don't remember what the magnitude was she had never felt one that strong from what she said

Been in lots of earthquakes, 7.1 ,6.2, 7.8 and many smaller ones , i live in Canterbury New Zealand and my main memory of earthquakes is feeling the start if one ir hearing it coming and hoping its not big the after it stops guessing the size location and depth (many of us got so good at it we could guess the magnitude of it +/- 0.2 , or now that we have less of them the constant thought in your brain thinking about where you will go if one happens now and what could fall and injure you

Hey!!! Richter scale never gives an idea about the earthquake energy released. its the moment magnitude scale which tells about the energy released.

Today (22nd September 2021), Australia was hit by a M5.9, for some reason i thought it was construction…

The Richter Scale IS NOT the best way to measure earthquakes. The moment magnitude scale is the most accurate. The Richter Scale is the most popular because of how fast it calculates the seismograms.

UK 5.7 in 2008. 2 died. Hit by chimney pot. Surreal experience.

How is this working?

I was indeed in an earth quake. It was very very mild and was barely felt, but still kinda cool.

I searched for seismograph but got this no there is no other vid

In science class they taught us the moment magnitude was the best to use and reporters don't really know what their talking about saying Richter

I was in Washington DC when that earthquake struck in Virginia in August 2011. Worst damage it did where I was was to knock some of my mom's pictures and artwork askew and some other belongings over. Definitely a relatively minor one, especially compared to Nepal.

DNews great video! Very informative.

Good job This was an very informative video Keep your channel going

I was in the January 17th, 1994 Martin Luther King Holiday earthquake in Los Angeles county. The whole house shook and everything seemed to rattle. I was in Palmdale, California. Outside all the light standards were rattling. In the distant south, I could see flashes or arcs of light. The sound was a low-pitched but loud and rapid rumble. It occurred shortly after 4:30 AM, Pacific Standard Time. As I was watching a second quake hit within a minute. The entire freeway from Palmdale to Interstate 5 at the bridge collapsed. I was a meteorologist with NOAA at FAA Air Traffic Control Center in Palmdale. Dogs were howling like wolves all over the neighborhood.

I was in the Cali earthquake it was scary first was 6.4 then the 2nd one is a 7.1

I've never even heard of anything other than the Richter Scale for measuring earthquakes, but I'm in Florida, so the earth stays put, like it's supposed to, unless you're unlucky enough to be over a sinkhole. It's hard to imagine living where there are earthquakes. Even mild ones knocking stuff off of shelves would be annoying.

Awesome work done

i have twice, but they were both wear, as i dont live anywhere near a fault line

does my profile picture give any hint about my earthquake experience?

I thought the Richter scale used a power of 32 per point. So 4 is 32^4, for example. Apparently I was wrong.

just now here in Southern Philippines 6.8M

I'm from Northridge California, and I figure we're only on the world map possibly because of our 6.8 or possibly 6.3 earthquake. They still say or I haven't got the right information on that just correct Richter number yet?. When earthquake information was first released, it was quoted I believe at a 7.1 and it this earthquake was the most violent thing I ever felt (and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley also )I felt that it was violent. Based off the damage I could see I think maybe if it's in the 6's then it was definitely a high 6 after watching this video. More than pictures fell off the walls we had freeways collapse, we had chimneys fall off houses, so I'm not sure where puts with those other scales or possibly the Richter scale also, you know our real number since it reportedly changed 3 times?!

Above the 9.0 earthquakes are really strong then every other earthquakes

In my country am earthquake destroyed a whole town . It was 6.3 and the one before that was 5.2. I will have anxiety and fear of earthquakes for the rest of my life

Quad 6's hit Philippines in row especially in Mindanao

I thought the Moment Magnitude scale superseded the Richter scale decades ago and that the term "Richter" is only still used due to media and improper naming. Someone verify this though, correct me if I'm wrong.
