Explanation / Answer
A greatness 5.9 quake struck China 70 km (43 mi) east southeast of Hongtu, Qinghai territory on January 20 at a profundity of 9.0 km (5.6 mi). The stun had a most extreme force of VI (Strong). Nine individuals were harmed and 600 houses were harmed.
A greatness 6.7 quake struck seaward of Japan 52 km (32 mi) southeast of Shizunai on the island of Hokkaido on January 14 at a profundity of 46.0 km (28.6 mi). The stun had a most extreme power of VI (Strong)
A greatness 6.0 quake struck seaward of Tonga 32 km (20 mi) west northwest of Nuku`alofa on February 15 at a profundity of 10.0 km (6.2 mi). The stun had a most extreme power of VI (Strong).
A greatness 6.0 quake struck Indonesia 151 km (94 mi) southeast of Tobelo on February 17 at a profundity of 9.0 km (5.6 mi). The stun had a most extreme power of VI (Strong)
An extent 6.2 tremor struck Ecuador 20 km (12 mi) west northwest of Muisne in Esmeraldas region on April 20 at a profundity of 14.0 km (8.7 mi). The stun had a most extreme power of VI (Strong)
An extent 7.2 tremor struck seaward of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands 53 km (33 mi) north upper east of Visokoi Island on May 28 at a profundity of 78.0 km (48.5 mi). The stun had a greatest power of VI (Strong)
An extent 6.3 tremor struck Indonesia 123 km (76 mi) west northwest of Kota Ternate, North Maluku on June 7 at a profundity of 31.0 km (19.3 mi). The stun had a greatest power of VI (Strong)
An extent 6.2 tremor struck the Solomon Islands 18 km (11 mi) west northwest of Auki on June 10 at a profundity of 30.4 km (18.9 mi). The stun had a greatest power of VI (Strong).
The 100,000 intensity means 5 to 6 fold according to mercalli scale. The richter magnitude is given above of the earthquakes occured in 2016.
The difference between an earthquake with magnitude less than 5 and one with a magnitude greater than 5 is that the wave amplitude of earthquake 6 magnitude will be 10 times greater than 5 magnitude and 100 tumes greater than 7 magnitude and so on.
