    A better measure of the size of an earthquake is the amount of energy released by the earthquake. The amount of energy released is related to the Magnitude Scale by the following equation: Log E = 11.8 + 1.5 M Where Log refers to the logarithm to the base 10, E is the energy released in ergs, and M is the Magnitude.
