X greater than Y

If I write X greater than Y , is it necessary that both X and Y should be noun?
Or, Can I have X and Y as a clause as in sentence below..

An earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West.

Thanks

Your sentence is fine. In future, please don't give us Xs and Ys to evaluate, but produce a realistic sample sentence.

The sentence seems rather to be 'devastates...does'. That is fine.
