For 10 points, name these natural disasters measured on the Richter scale.
One type of these events may be caused by recrystallization instabilities, or the propagation and linking-up of spinel-filled anticracks arising from olivine transformation. Wadati-Benioff zones are the site of many deep-focus types of these events. These events can be explained by the elastic (*) rebound theory, which posits that two sides of a strike-slip fault quickly snap back during these events. Triangulation with the difference between the arrival times of P and S waves can locate the epicenter of these events. For 10 points, name these natural disasters measured on the Richter scale.
