Question

The richter scale measures the magnitude, m, of an earthquake as a function of its intensity, i, and the intensity of a reference earthquake, . which equation calculates the magnitude of an earthquake with an intensity 10,000 times that of the reference earthquake? a. b. c. d.

Answer 1

The magnitude of an earthquake with an intensity 10,000 times is [㏒10000]

What is magnitude?

magnitude can be regarded as the size or the weight of destruction that is been experienced as a result of the earthquake.

The magnitude as regards Richter scale is

[㏒(I/I₀]

But we were given l as 10000I₀.

Then if we substitute we have, [㏒(10000I₀./I₀)]

If we simplify we have:

[㏒10000]

Therefore, magnitude of an earthquake with an intensity 10,000 times is [㏒10000]
