Reply to comment by mac-and-dream in ELI5: Why have they been multiple big earthquakes along Türkiye and Syria? it's been 3 weeks and there are still repeated earthquakes with the latest being 5.7 - is this normal? by mac-and-dream
Keep in mind that the scale is logarithmic. Going from 5 to 6 isn't a small increase in power, it's 10x more powerful, and 7 would be 100x. So, 3 is the kind that people may not even notice at all, 5 is a bit shakey, maybe some stuff falling off of shelves, and 7 is buildings falling.
