Japan vs Sumatra - Japan bigger? |
I just took a look at the energy & broadband solutions listed for these quakes on the USGS site. Sumatra: Japan As you can see, the Japan quake's radiated energy is 73% greater than the 2004 Sumatra quake which is officially a 9.1 moment magnitude. I suspect that when all is said and done, Japan's quake may come in as 9.1 to 9.3 moment magnitude. Unless, I could be misunderstanding the relationship between Mm, Me, and Es.
