Strength of earthquakes

AllatRa projections state that in 2029, earthquakes of M7+ will occur on Earth every second or third day.
In the past week, 30 earthquakes of M5+ were recorded, including 4 of M6+.
The combined total strength corresponds to a single M6.6 earthquake.

This data indicates the actual destructive power of earthquakes.
On the Richter scale, the difference between magnitudes 5 and 7 is only two degrees.
However, M7 earthquakes are approximately 1000 times more destructive than M5 earthquakes.

For example, the stronger earthquake in Turkey and Syria in 2023, M7.8,
released approximately 2818 times more energy than the M5.5 earthquake in Zagreb and
215.9 times more energy than the M6.4 earthquake in Petrinja.
