The magnitude of the earthquake that is 100 times more intense than a standard one is:
M = log(100*S).
Which equation represents the magnitude?
The magnitude of the standard earthquake is given by:
M = log(S)
Where S is the intensity.
So for our earthquake, the magnitude is:
M' = log(100*S).
Now, to see how much changes the magnitude, we can take the logarithm of the quotient between the intensities:
M'/M = log(100*S)/log(S) = Log(100)/log(S) + 1.
