Richter scale is a logarithmic scale that runs from 1 to 9, tough no upper limit exists. An increase of 1 magnitude unit represents a factor of 10 times in amplitude i.e. a magnitude of 8 quake is 10 time more powerful than magnitude of 7 quakes. Every increase of one number in magnitude means the energy release of the quake is 32 times greater. For example, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 releases 32 times as such energy as an earthquake measuring 5.0.
