The Richter scale has no theoretical limit. It has a practical limit based on limits of what energy could be released, but there is no hard this stops at 10
Here is a fun video talking about what quakes above 10 are like and what quakes below zero are like
and isn’t anything after 8 basically the plates unraveling?
No. There are multiple 9+ in modern history.
Someone else replied to the same person with a video link explaining the practical limits. TL;DW, the practical limit is anything past ~10+ would require massive upheaval. Not to say they’re impossible, but beyond 10, you’re likely looking at needing to adjust maps or worse.
I’ve read scientists think the Chicxulub impact may have registered a 13
Yea, an extinction event from a single impact would be crazy!
I seriously struggle to imagine it. Even in comparison to Tsar Bomba, the largest nuke ever detonated, which was insane, Chicxulub was several orders of magnitude worse as far as energy release.
The fact a not even all that big piece of rock could result in such insane forces is … well, it shouldn’t be surprising given the magnitude of ‘c’ and e=mc^2, but since when has any of that been completely intuitive!?
… and then there’s the impact that created the moon … and a hundred other kinds of impacts and reactions across the universe that are yet again so many orders of magnitude greater… Even if the numbers can be found, the universe truly is (almost by definition) incomprehensible.

Also, doing any kind of workout with someone’s elbow in the small of your back sounds horrible.
Body language says they’re a couple ❤️
Roommates.
Oh my god they were roommates
Or confident but honest.
also the Richter scale is logarithmic; each point is ten times as much as the previous. so a 3 is not 30% as much as a 10, it’s one ten-millionth as much
As someone who has lived in California their entire life, I tell people to call me only if it’s a 6.0 or above.
that’s a bit shallow. It’s not always the size, it’s the frequency too
Like I said, I don’t wanna lie to her. Just lie with her.
I wonder what the richter value is for your average sex romp
It also isn’t linear, so his dick is 107 times smaller than the maximum. ie 0.000001/10.
I don’t think an elbow pushed into your spine would feel very good.
Considering the size difference between the two, big guy probably would barely feel it.
Reminds me of the video where some jackass drop kicked Arnold in the back and Arnold stumbled but didn’t fall over, whereas I would have split in half.
You clearly don’t need your back cracked like I do.
Is really hard to feel a 3.0 richter.
We have many of those a day and you rarely notice.
8.8 richter tough, Yeah that’s fun.
The Richter scale has no upper bounds. Unless you consider a point where there is so much energy in such a small area that black holes form.
