A fault has an mw 80 earthquake roughly every 200 years


A fault has an Mw 8.0 earthquake roughly every 200 years. Imagine that scientists found a way to trigger Mw 5.0 Earthquakes whenever they wanted. If they wanted to release the same amount of energy as the Mw 8.0 earthquake, how many of the smaller earthquakes would they need? How often would they have to cause these earthquakes, in days?
