How to read these numbers
Magnitude is not damage
Magnitude measures the energy released at the source, and the scale is logarithmic: one whole number up is about 32 times the energy. It says nothing about who felt it. A magnitude 7 under open ocean can hurt nobody, while a magnitude 6 under a city at shallow depth is a catastrophe. Depth and what is built above the fault decide the damage.
What the alert colours mean
USGS also publishes a PAGER level, which estimates human impact rather than size, usually within half an hour of the event.
- green No expected impact. Most quakes, including large ones far from anyone.
- yellow Local impact expected. Some damage, limited casualties.
- orange Significant impact. A regional or national response is likely.
- red Extensive impact. Past events at this level needed international help.
A number in a headline is not final either. Tolls climb for days and sometimes for years, for reasons that have little to do with the earthquake: why the death toll from a disaster keeps changing .
