Best Answer

earthquake magnitude is exponential, not linear. for every increase of 1 on the Richter scale, an earthquake releases 10 times as much energy. The Richter scale has been superseded the moment magnitude scale (MMS). MMS is still logarithmic, but deviates somewhat from the Richter scale (an increase of one indicates about 30 times as much energy). Certain equations or algorithms might be designed for a linear scale, but for most applications a linear scale would be unnecessary and impractical.
