| 释义 | magnitude (once / 637 pages) n Earthquakes have great magnitude in that they are powerful. Their power is rated by their level of magnitude, or how much energy they release relative to other earthquakes. In math, magnitude compares numbers by powers of 10. If your weekly allowance was $10, but your brother's was $100, his allowance would be one order of magnitude higher than yours. If your sister's was $10,000, hers would be three orders of magnitude higher. A difference of that magnitude is just not fair!

Washington Times(Jan 02, 2017) In September, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck Pawnee and caused widespread property damage. Seattle Times(Jan 02, 2017) In late September, one such swarm began in the northern Brawley Seismic Zone, with three measuring above magnitude 4.
