Possible Disturbing After Affects of a 13.0 Medium Earthquake
Earthquakes have always posed a risk of major destructions. An earthquake is a natural disaster that can do a lot of damage and kill many people. The magnitude of the earthquake is a measure of the energy released during a seismic event.
The larger the magnitude, the more destructive the earthquake will be. One of the most devastating events in human history would be a 13.0 magnitude earthquake.
Recently, the world witnessed Turkey’s earthquake of 7.6 magnitudes, which alone shook around ten provinces, causing immense destruction throughout the country. More than thirty thousand deaths and many more injuries have been reported due to the earthquake.
It is essential to remember that the 9.5-magnitude earthquake that hit Chile, which was the strongest ever recorded, provides some context for the potential effects of a 13.0-magnitude quake. The Japan earthquake of 2011 had a magnitude of 9.0. It caused widespread destruction, including the failure of several nuclear reactors.
Energetic Emissions enough to Destroy on Mass Scale
An earthquake with a magnitude of 13.0 would release a tremendous amount of energy, sufficient to cause extensive…
