Richter magnitude scale is about 7 and about 8.5 for formula_3. New techniques to avoid the saturation problem and to measure magnitudes rapidly for very large earthquakes are being developed. One of these is based on the long period P-wave; the other is based on a recently discovered channel wave. The energy release of an earthquake, which closely correlates to its destructive power, scales with the power of the shaking amplitude. Thus, a difference in magnitude of 1.0 is equivalent to a factor of 31.6 (formula_19) in the energy released; a difference in magnitude of 2.0 is equivalent to a factor of 1000
Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons is the 2012 album by neo-classical composer Max Richter, released on August 31, 2012 on Universal Classics and Jazz (Germany), a division of Universal Music Group, and Deutsche Grammophon. The album is a complete recomposition and reinterpretation of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons". Although Richter said that he had discarded 75% of Vivaldi's original material, the parts he does use are phased and looped, emphasising his grounding in postmodern and minimalist music. The album was composed by Max Richter, played by the violinist
