Earthquake Magnitude Converter
Convert earthquake scales
Earthquake Magnitude Converter
Convert between seismological magnitude scales (Richter/ML, Moment Mw, Body Wave mb, Surface Wave Ms) and compute the radiated energy in joules and TNT equivalent.
Conversions use published empirical relations (Scordilis 2006 for Ms/mb). They are approximate because the scales measure different physical quantities and saturate differently.
