How much more energy releases from a magnitude 2 earthquake compared with a magnitude 1 earthquake?

Answer: Earthquake refers to the sudden shaking of the earth due to the release of energy by the seismic ways in the earth's interior. An earthquake of magnitude 2 is exactly ten times bigger, as well as about 31-33 times stronger than that of magnitude 1.

Richter scale is used to measure magnitude of an earthquake, that means how much energy has been released due to the release of seismic waves.
