Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale which calculates the amount of energy (in ergs) the earthquake releases.

An earthquake measuring 4 on the Richter scale releases `32^4` ergs of energy.

An earthquake measuring 8 on the Richter scale releases `32^8` ergs of energy.

An earthquake measuring 8 on the Richter scale releases how many times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4?
