Suppose The magnitude 7 earthquake that occurred today on the Hayward fault (a part of the San Andreas fault system, along the densely populated eastern side of San Francisco bay) caused hundreds of deaths and almost $100 billion of damage.
Can we infer that "The earthquake on the Hayward fault was higher than 6 other magnitudes on the Richter scale (a measurement of earthquakes)."? Yes, no, or maybe?
