How quakes measure up - Cosmic Log - msnbc.com
I thought it was an interesting article on how energies of earthquakes and such are calculated.How did the magnitude-8.8 earthquake in Chile compare with January's 7.0 earthquake in Haiti? Was Chile's quake 60 times stronger? 600 times stronger? And exactly how much time will we be losing every day because the 8.8 quake affected Earth's rotation?
Avoid making any important decisions this week. And, come to think of it, next week as well. In fact, assume this is always the case unless the stars tell you otherwise. - Taurus

500,000 Points very interesting. It doesnt really mention anything about the richter scale or measuring of earthquakes, but more or less about the impact it has on rotation, then it goes off about the moon affecting earth's rotation, to gradually receeding from the earth.
