2008 Market Rasen earthquake Caythorpe, all three in South Kesteven. The cost of insurance payouts was estimated to be around £30 million, with the majority of damage being done to chimneys, roof tiles and by falling masonry. The tremor was the largest earthquake to affect the UK since the 1984 Llŷn Peninsula earthquake, which measured 5.4 on the Richter scale. The British Geological Survey gave the earthquake a reading of 5.2M, while the United States Geological Survey reported it measured 4.8M. The French Atomic Energy Commission estimated the magnitude was 5.4M. A total of nine aftershocks were recorded. The largest, measuring 2.8 on the
Orders of magnitude (length) (10 m or 1.1 billion light-years). At this scale, expansion of the universe becomes significant. Distance of these objects are derived from their measured redshifts, which depends on the cosmological models used. To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists distances starting at 100 Ym (10 m or 11 billion light years). At this scale, expansion of the universe becomes significant. Distance of these objects are derived from their measured redshifts, which depend on the cosmological models used. Distances longer than 100 Ym Orders of magnitude (length) The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.
