In populated areas, an earthquake of 3.5 on the Richter scale can cause slight local damage, 4 can cause moderate damage, 5 considerable damage and 6 can be severe.

A 7 reading is a "major" quake capable of heavy damage and an is a "great" earthquake capable of tremendous widespread damage. The Italian quake measured 6.5 and the Soviet shock registered 7.2 on the Richter. Persons said about 16 to 18 quakes in the major category are expected each year, but for the last three years only about 12 were recorded annually. With about half of 1976 gone, only five "majors" have registered since January, he added. Persons said approximately 6,000 quakes of various magnitudes register each year on existing equipment and "thousands more go un-located because they are very small." Scientists say earthquake activity tends to be episodic, with periods of relative quiet, such as the last three years, alternating with periods of more disturbances.

Five big earthquakes have rattled the earth so far this month, falsely giving some people the impression there were more quakes than usual latelv, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists say. "Everyone is trying to say there is unusual earthquakes activity, hut there is not," said Waverly Persons, a geophysicist with the USGS National Earthquake Information Service in Golden, Colo.

"We've had normal activity for the first half of the year," Persons said. "Actually, if you look at the average predicted earthquakes for a year, we are slightly behind." Persons said people are paying more attention to earthquakes because several have occurred in populated rather than remote areas, he said. "People are looking at where there has been damage and loss of life," he continued. "This stays in their minds more than a non-destructive quake." Hundreds of people died in the May 6 quake that struck northeastern Italy. An undetermined number of people were killed in the May 16 shock in Soviet central Asia.

A USGS spokesman said that almost 1,000 deaths worldwide could be attributed to earthquakes this year. There have been five earthquakes classified as "major" and 12 called "significant" this year, Persons said. A major one has a magnitude of 7 or greater on the Richter scale, and a quake is classified significant if it either measures 5.5 or stronger or causes extensive damage and death.
