Answer:

Correct answer friend

To compare two earthquakes in terms of shaking, you subtract one magnitude from the other and raise 10 to that power: 10^(M1-M2). For example, if the magnitude of one quake is 6 and another is 4, than the difference in magnitudes is 2, so the stronger earthquake shakes 10^2 or 100 times as hard as the milder one.

minor earthquake

Foreshocks are smaller earthquakes occur in the same area as a larger earthquake that follows. Not all earthquakes have foreshocks or aftershocks. Sometimes a series of similar sized earthquakes, called an earthquake swarm, happens over months without being followed by a significantly larger earthquake.

major earthquake

The whole country is in a very active seismic area, and they have the densest seismic network in the world, so they are able to record many earthquakes.
