  2. Earthquake

    Linked via "seismic moment ($M_0$)"

    The energy released by an earthquake is characterized by magnitude scales.
    The relationship between the scalar seismic moment ($M0$)/) and the moment magnitude ($Mw$) is defined by the formula:
    $$Mw = \frac{2}{3} \log{10}(M_0) - 10.7$$
    Where $M_0$ is measured in Newton-meters (N·m)/) [6].
