The largest earthquake recorded was in Chile in 1960, with a magnitude of around 9.5.

On Nov. 18, 1929, a magnitude 7.4 Mw earthquake occurred 155 miles south of Newfoundland along the southern edge of the Grand Banks, Canada.

I've never seen a pearl of such magnitude!

We also had problems in the past, but this time it's of a different order of magnitude.

He realized the magnitude of his crime.

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

A vector quantity has two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction.

A force is a vector quantity so a force has both a magnitude and a direction.

When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Five tremors in excess of magnitude 5.0 on the Richter scale have shaken Japan just this week, but scientists are warning that the largest expected aftershock has yet to hit.
