Engagement: earthquakes and the Richter magnitude
Hypothetical Situation: On Saturday, April 25th, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Nepal and affecting adjoining areas of India, China, and Tibet reeked havoc, destruction, and death in the area. This quake was followed closely by a 6.7 magnitude quake and the area has now experienced almost 100 aftershocks.

The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs.
False Earthquake Detected in Mexico City After Lozano's Winning Goal in World Cup Match - June 2018
Although it may seem like science fiction, man-made earthquakes have been a reality for decades. It has long been understood that earthquakes can be induced by impoundment of water in reservoirs, surface and underground mining, withdrawal of fluids and gas from the subsurface, and injection of fluids into underground formations.
